You are a federal prosecutor in Washington, DC, assigned to the following case:

Robert is a political commentator who actively criticizes the current administration on Twitter. Robert also publicly has discussed that he suffers from epilepsy, a condition that may cause seizures under certain conditions, for example exposure to flashing lights.

In late 2017, Robert received a gif file which he opened. The file contained a blinking image of a strobe light, which cause Robert to have an epileptic seizure. Robert was taken to the hospital by ambulance, however, upon arrival at the hospital, Robert’s condition was misdiagnosed as less serious than it was.
