Blanch v. State

Andrews, Judge.

On appeal from his conviction for aggravated as well as simple battery, Andrew Blanch argues that the evidence was insufficient on the aggravated charge and that the trial court erred when it failed to charge the jury on the meaning of the term “maliciously” and when it admitted a prior conviction for impeachment purposes.
