Wright v. Commonwealth
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of felony malicious bodily injury by means of a caustic substance, felony assault and battery of a law enforcement officer, obstruction of justice, and grand larceny from the person. The Court of Appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed in part and reversed in part, holding (1) Rule 5:17(c)(iii) precluded the Court from considering Defendant’s first and second assignments of error; and (2) the evidence was insufficient to support Defendant’s convictions for felony malicious bodily injury by means of a caustic substance, assault and battery of a law enforcement officer, and obstruction of justice.
