Grimes v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of felony interference with a peace officer. The conviction arose from an incident in which Defendant kicked an officer in the chest, causing him to fall backward onto asphalt pavement. On appeal, Defendant challenged the sufficiency of the evidence, contending that the evidence that the officer was injured by his actions was insufficient to support the conviction. The Supreme Court affirmed the conviction, holding that, in this case, the jury could have reasonably concluded that the State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the officer was injured when Defendant kicked him.
