Brown v. State
Annotate this CaseAppellant was convicted after a jury trial of aggravated battery stemming from an altercation with his girlfriend and his girlfriend’s sister. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) there was sufficient evidence to establish that the victim suffered serious bodily injury, and therefore, the jury could have determined beyond a reasonable doubt that Appellant was guilty of the crime for which he was convicted; (2) the district court did not commit plain error when it instructed the jury on the theory of self-defense; and (3) the prosecutor’s statements throughout trial were clearly improper, but Appellant was not materially prejudiced as a result of the prosecutor’s misconduct.
