| Topic: | Aggravated assault - Sufficiency of evidence |
| Summary of the Facts: | Robert Bobo was convicted of aggravated assault and sentenced to ten years. He appeals. |
| Summary of Opinion Analysis: | Bobo challenges the sufficiency of the evidence. The evidence presented at trial indicated that Bobo walked to another man’s house and began to taunt the victim. Once the victim was outside, Bobo continued his verbal barrage and refused to leave the property. During the ensuing struggle between the two men, Bobo stabbed the victim no less than ten times, two of which were identified as life threatening. The evidence showed that Bobo initiated the altercation, struck the first blow and repeatedly stabbed the victim. This evidence is sufficient to support the verdict. |
