1Opinion of the CourtGibson, J.
Defendant was convicted at a trial by jury of two counts of simple assault in violation of 13 V.S.A. § 1023(a)(1). He raises three claims on appeal: (1) the United States and Vermont Constitutions bar the charges on double jeopardy grounds; (2) prosecutorial impropriety deprived him of his right to a fair trial; and (3) the sentencing court’s consideration of allegations of assaults by defendant “over a period of time” violated the rule of State v. Williams, 137 Vt. 360, 364, 406 A.2d 375, 377 (1979), cert. denied, 444 U.S. 1048 (1980). We affirm.
