Levengood v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a bench trial, Defendant was found guilty of one count of aggravated assault and battery for threatening to use a drawn deadly weapon against his ex-girlfriend. Defendant appealed, arguing that the State presented insufficient evidence at trial to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that he threatened to use the knife he was carrying. The Supreme Court affirmed the conviction, holding that a rational trier of fact could find that, under the circumstances, Defendant’s actions were an actual threat towards his ex-girlfriend, and therefore, there was sufficient evidence to sustain the conviction.
