Although Victim Was Shot Injuries Did Not Constitute “Serious Physical Injury” Within Meaning of Assault 1st Statute.

Although the victim was shot in the chest and arm, the Fourth Department determined there was insufficient evidence of serious physical injury and reduced the Assault 1st conviction to Attempted Assault 1st.  The Court did not reach the issue whether the indictment was supported by legally sufficient evidence because the issue was not raised in the omnibus motion (suggesting that a conviction does not preclude raising insufficient-evidence-to-indict on appeal).  People vs Madera, 6, KA 11-00450 Fourth Dept. 2-8-13
