Richard Hall, Appellant/cross v. United States of America, Appellee/cross

FRIEDMAN, Senior Circuit Judge.

The appellant Hall challenges on two grounds his jury conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 113(f) (1988) for assault resulting in serious bodily injury. He contends that the district court ** erred in refusing to give a jury instruction on self-defense and that the prosecutor improperly commented on defense counsel’s failure to cross-examine a key government witness. The government cross-appeals the district court’s refusal to enhance the defendant’s sentence for obstruction of justice. We affirm the conviction, but vacate the sentence and remand for reconsideration.
