Dominic A. White v. United States
District of Columbia Court of Appeals
Decided May 9, 2019No. 17-CF-530PublishedCited by 6 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
Fisher, Associate Judge:
Appellant Dominic A. White challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support his convictions for insurance fraud, conspiracy, and aggravated assault while armed ("AAWA"). He also argues that the trial judge committed reversible error in responding to a question from the jury. Once again, this court must grapple with the question of what constitutes a "serious bodily injury," an element of proof required to convict a defendant of AAWA. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand for resentencing.
