NO REASONABLE VIEW OF THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTED ANYTHING LESS THAN SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY, REQUEST FOR A JURY CHARGE ON ASSAULT THIRD WAS PROPERLY DENIED (CT APP). ​

The Court of Appeals, affirming the assault second conviction, determined defendant’s request for a jury charge on assault third as a lesser-included offense was properly denied because of the severity of the victim’s injuries:

Both live and photographic evidence at trial, ten months after the attack, demonstrated that the victim’s face was disfigured with scars above one eyebrow, under the other eye, on her lip and across her neck, and that apart from the scars, her facial structure and appearance had changed significantly. Testimony from her treating physician established that she suffered at least five displaced fractures around her eye sockets and nose, which were left to heal as displaced. Viewed in a light most favorable to defendant … , we agree that no reasonable view of the evidence could support a finding that the victim sustained anything less than a serious physical injury … . People v Sipp, 2019 NY Slip Op 06432, CtApp 8-29-19
