McPetrie v. State

Ruffin, Presiding Judge.

Colin McPetrie, William Paschal, and David Alan Raines were charged with kidnapping, two counts of aggravated assault, false imprisonment, and battery. Following a trial, a jury found the defendants guilty of simple battery as a lesser included offense of aggravated assault and false imprisonment.
