Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
Decided August 14, 1981No. 80-2048PublishedCited by 21 opinions
1Per curiam
Earl Louis Deon appeals from his conviction, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1153 and 18 U.S.C. § 113(f), for assault resulting in serious bodily injury. Deon raises three points on appeal: (1) that the trial court 1 should have directed a verdict in his favor, (2) that the trial court gave the wrong jury instruction on the issue of self-defense, and (3) that the trial court improperly determined as a matter of law that a shooting had occurred, at Pine Ridge, South Dakota, rather than leaving that factual inquiry, regarding the crime charged, to the jury. We affirm.
