INSUFFICIENT PROOF GUNSHOT CAUSED SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY, ASSAULT FIRST CONVICTION REDUCED TO ASSAULT SECOND.

The Fourth Department reduced defendant’s conviction from assault first to assault second based upon insufficient proof of serious physical injury. The victim was shot in the leg:

Although the victim displayed to the jury scars on his leg caused by his gunshot wounds, “the record does not contain any pictures or descriptions of what the jury saw so as to prove that these scars constitute serious or protracted disfigurement” … . Furthermore, although the victim testified that he “feel[s] pain in [his] leg” in cold weather, we conclude that such testimony does not constitute evidence of persistent pain so severe as to cause “protracted impairment of health” … . People v Romero, 2017 NY Slip Op 01069, 4th Dept 2-10-17
