Chambers v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided March 24, 2011No. A11A0034PublishedCited by 8 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

Ellington, Chief Judge.

A Hall County jury found Michael Chambers guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of aggravated assault, OCGA § 16-5-21 (a) (2) (with an instrument which, when used offensively against a person, is likely to or actually does result in serious bodily injury). Following the denial of his motion for a new trial, Chambers appeals, contending that the trial court erred in limiting his cross-examination of the victim and in denying his request to instruct the jury on reckless conduct as a lesser included offense of aggravated assault. Finding no error, we affirm.
