1Opinion of the CourtGrillo, J.
This is an appeal from the conviction of two defendants, Robert Esposito and Ralph Killenger, on charges of first degree assault and first degree robbery. In this appeal, the defendants maintain that the trial court erred in failing to limit the state to proving that the instrument causing the victim’s injuries was a hammer, as specified in the bill of particulars. They claim, also, that the court erred in failing to charge on the lesser included assault offenses based on reckless or criminally negligent conduct, and that closing arguments should have been recorded.
