People v. Baldwin

Defendant was convicted by a jury of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder. MCLA 750.84; MSA 28.279. The charge arose out of an incident occurring in front of the Redmill Bar on Woodward Avenue in Highland Park on September 11, 1974. Defendant admittedly stabbed the victim, a Mr. Rodgers, with a knife. Defendant claimed, however, that he had been defending himself from a knife attack on him by Rodgers.

Defendant received a prison sentence and now appeals raising numerous issues. We find that none require reversal, though four merit discussion.
