People v. White
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of two counts of assault on a peace officer with force likely to produce bodily harm after he threw a metal showerhead at reinforced glass with sufficient force to shatter the glass, causing particles to hit peace officers on the other side. The court concluded that there was sufficient evidence to convict defendant where defendant did not have to specifically intend to inflict a particular injury to be guilty of assault because there is no requirement that defendant be subjectively aware of the risk that a battery may occur. Accordingly, the court affirmed the judgment.
