State v. Griego

OPINION

BILLINGS, Judge:

Danny Griego appeals his convictions of two counts of assault by a prisoner, a third-degree felony, in violation of Utah Code Ann. § 76-5-102.5 (1995), and one count of interference with an arresting officer, a class B misdemeanor, in violation of Utah Code Ann. § 76-8-305 (1995). Specifically, Griego claims that the trial court erred in not dismissing the charges against him because the State failed to prove essential elements of the crimes. Griego also claims the trial court erred in giving several jury instructions. We affirm.
