SUBSTANTIAL PAIN ELEMENT OF ASSAULT THIRD EXPLAINED (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department determined the proof of the “substantial pain” element of assault third was sufficient to support conviction:

​

The verdict was supported by legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence … . There is no basis for disturbing the jury’s credibility determinations. The jury reasonably believed that defendant intended to forcibly take the victim’s property when he hit the victim in the head and immediately grabbed at his pocket … .

There was also ample proof of physical injury, because the victim testified that due to the severe pain in his mouth, it was difficult for him to open his mouth for two days, and he could not eat during that time… .. The statutory element of “substantial pain” may be satisfied by relatively minor injuries causing moderate, but “more than slight or trivial pain”…, even in the absence of any medical treatment … . People v Cordero, 2017 NY Slip Op 08466, First Dept 12-5-17
