Overview: Aggravated assault conviction was upheld on appeal, as the victim's identification of the defendant as his assailant, both during and after the altercation, supported the same, and evidence of a subsequent altercation between the two was probative evidence that the victim immediately identified defendant to police on the day of the incident.

View this case - free  

Overview: A property description in a backup contract was too vague to satisfy the statute of frauds.
