    Although actus reus was established by evidence of repeated reversing and collisions, the prosecution failed to prove the requisite mens rea under Section 307; the evidence more persuasively showed reactive manoeuvres to evade arrest within a confined encirclement rather than deliberate, persistent targeting or follow-through indicative of intent or knowledge to cause death, therefore no prima facie case was made and the accused was discharged.
