I SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT fThe two major issues in this case are the use or exhibition of a deadly weapon and the identity of the asault. The trial court found there was sufficient evidence to convict for Aggravated Assault. In the issue, Appellant states that the evidence is legally insuffici ent to establish the element of use or exhibition of a deadly wea pon in 1243882D. At best the assault in the case made a movement towards knife of knives, there is no knife-weapon taken.into police custody an filed on the evidence list:.in^ease-number 1243882D, but |hat is not sufficient to establish use or exhibition of a deadly Weapon. The judge ment for Aggravated Assault in this case should sbe reversed. The"third issue is the evidence regarding identity's legally in sufficient. There was no description given but the complaintant's Ms. Burrola said ex-boyfriend Gilbert Grimaldo. There are two wit nesses her son Joseph and a friend Mr.Brown. The Appellant was not tarrested at the scene of this crime. But a warrant was issued and ^Appellant was arrested. There was no fingerprints or no DNA obtain ed none for gloves of which matched Appellant. Appellant Gilbert •has an alibi witness Wiliam Carlton. Detective and District Attorn ey failed to investigate Mr.Williams Carlton testimony for the de- •'j °fense of the Appellant. The Court issued a subpoena for the private detective to serve alibi witness Mr.William carlton but he was not 'served. The Court and District Attorney failed to subpoena alibi 'witness Mr.William Carlton for the defense. Also Appellant has two ^affidavit from witnesses that was on the list of witnesses but was I -6- not called to testify in the behalf of Appellant there names are D^avid Trevino and Geneva Labree [now Geneva Labree Grimaldo]. Ms. Burrola was not hospitalize for her injuries or no medical reports of her injuries by a physician to show serious bodly injury or dea th by expert testimony. Appellant assert that the evidence is leg ally insufficient to convict him of this case. The judgement for Aggravated Assault in this case should be reversed and remanded to the lower court. ARGUMENT ISSUE ONE, RESTATED:THERE WAS LEGALLY INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO FIND APPELLANT GUILTY OF THE OFFENSE OF AGGRAVATED ASSAULT. iSSUE TWO. RESTATED:THERE WAS LEGALLY INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO FIND THE USE OR EXHIBITION OF A DEADLY WEAPON. A. Standard of Review Appellant contends that the evidence is legal sufficiency is the constitutional minimum requirement by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to sustain a criminal conviction Jackson V. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 215-16, 99 S.Ct. 2781, 61 L.Ed. 2d 560 (1979). The appellate standard for reviewing a legal sufficiency challenge is whether any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt. !ld. at 320, 99 S.Ct. 2781. The evidence is examined in the most favorable to the factfinder. Id. A successful legal sufficiency challenge will result in the rendition of an acquittal by the re viewing court. Tibbs v. Florida, 457 U.S. 31, 41-42, 102 S.Ct. ,2211, 72 L.Ed. 2d 652 (1982). [There is little dispite over the relevant facts in the case. When jview in the light most favorable to the jury's verdict. Those fact 's are appellant and the complainant lived together from January 10 i ' _7_ 2009 to the end February as common-law-wife. Complainant said Ap pellant held a knife to her neck threating to kill her and her ch ildren. The indictment alleged the offense of Aggravated Assault under section 22.02(a)(2) of the Penal Code, which provides that a person commits an offense if he uses deadly weapon while causeing bodily injury.Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 22.02(a)(2) (Vernon Supp. 2011), B. Law Requiring Use of Weapon When a person is charge with using a deadly weapon, the evidence must establish that the weapon was actually deadly. Lockett v. St- §tate, 874 S.W.2d 810, 814 (Tex.App.-Dallas 1994. pet.refd). The Eenal Code defines a "deadly weapon" as a knife or anything design ed, made, or adapted for the purpose of inflicting death or seri ous bodily injury; or anything that in the matter of its use or intended use is capable causeing death or serious bodily injury Tex. Pen. Code Ann. §§ 1.07 (a) (17)(A),(B)(Venon 2011). "Serious bodily injury" is defined as "bodily injury that creates a substantial risk of death or that causes death, serious permanm- e.nt disfigurement or protracted loss or impairment of the function c^f any: bodily member or organ."Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 1.07 (a)(46) QVenon 20110. Because the complaintant Ms. Burola did not die or actually suffer serious bodily injury" she was not hospitalize, no 4edical report by physician, no reported medical injuries and no services from Medstar Ambulance Service bill or testimony", the narrow issue inthe case is whether the weapon used by appellant was capable of causeing death or serious bodily injury. Adam v. State, 22 S.W.3d 581, 581(Tex.Crim.App.2002)(citing McCain v. St- a.te, 22 S.W.3d 497, 503(Tex.Crim. App. 2000) ("am object is a deadly weapon if the actor intends a use of the object in which it would ., -8- i i' ye capable of causeing death or serious bodily injury"). Therefore we must view the evidence in the light most favorable to the verd- fct and determine whether any rational jury could have found appel lant used a weapon in such a way that the weapon would be capable ef causeing death or serious bodily injury, (CR-89-100). :; C. Application To These Facts JThe State offered evidence on this issue from five source. First testimony was Ms.Burrola said the object came from butcher block fjet, which she said Appellant dragged her to the kitchen and grab bed a butcher block knife from a butcher block set that broke into pieces by direct exmination district attorney Bangs. 4RR28-30. On qross-exmination Appellant's attorney Canas asked Ms.Burrola about t^he knife, she doesn't know what type of knife it was used in that kitchen. Her testimony is not clear to show what style of knife, size, shape or sharpness. 4RR65. Joseph testify see Appellant with a. knife. 4RR75. Mr.Brown testify that Appellant didn't have a wea pon. 4RR103. That he seen Appellant come from the stair well area. 4JRR91. Mr.Brown said Gilbert had no blood on his clothes. 4RR110. Opicer Stewart did not write or state that was a cut on her neck ajid clearly a small scratch or a weapon used in the family viol ence packed diagram report. 4RR137-138. Officer Stewart testimony there's no where he saids that he took into evidence a weapon. Of ficer Stewart has put no weapon into evidence see evidence list. 4RR128-140; See Evidence List. Detective J.M.Bayer testify to kni fe being a deadly weapon. 4RR145. But in Detective Bayer testimony tliere clearly no weapon taken into evidence see evidence list. 4RR- 140-149; Evidence List. Detective Baker testify that the glove was spt for DNA Testing and fingerprints testing. No fingerprints was found of Appellant. 4RR145-146. There is no DNA of Gilbert on the ;,- jgloves. They weren't able to get anything off the glove. 4RR145- I1 446. Detective Bayer confirmed that there any other DNA testing Requested by the defense? No not at the time. 4RR146. There's no ijnedical reports records stated Ms.Burrola was treated by a physic ian or Medstar Ambulance service in testimony for injuries lacera- Hon or burns which consistent with being namely whether Appellant iised a weapon in such a way that the weapon would be capable of 'i' >auseing death or serious bodily injury. In resolving this issue, |re are mindful that a weapon's capacity to cause death or serious 'podily injury must be supported by evidence related directly to I the circumstances of the criminal episode and not upon a hypothe tical of causeing death or serious bodily injury. Johnston v. Str jate, 115 S.W.3d 761, 763(Tex. App.-Austin 2003), aff'd, 145 S.W.3d |l5(Tex.Crim.App. 2004); Inre A.J.G., 131 S.W.3d 687, 694(Tex.App. |rCorpus Christi 2004 pet. denied). See 4RR64-65. if ' D- Conclusion 1For the record is picture's of a butcher block set, pieces of it I'something" testimont of a knife but no weapen taken into evidence TJjust hypothetical claim of a weapon. See State's Exhibit 1,2; 4RR |>5, Evidence List. We will begin with the issue of the knife, whi- ;ch is not a deadly weapon per se. Robertson v. State, 163 S.W.3d [730, 732(Tex.Crim. App. 2005); Thomas v. State, 821 S.W.2d 616, 620 I |(Tex.Crim.App. 1991). However, a knife may become a deadly weapon and the court have recognized several factors, to consider when 'determine a knife was used as deadly weapon; (1) the physical pro- l ximity between the conplaintant and the knife; (2) threats or t- Ivords by the defendant; (3) the size, shape and sharpness of the I -10- % knife; (4) testimony about the knife's ability to inflict death or f . /^erious bodily injury; (5) the actual knife need not be introduced ;into evidence if witness is able to testify about the knife and xhe manner in which it was used; (6) assertive conduct by the actor; £nd (7) the location and severity of the wounds inflicted.TThomas |r. State, 821 S.W.2d 616, 619(Tex.Crim.App. 1991); .Ortiz v. State, §93. S.W.2d 892, 894(Tex.App.-Fort Worth 1999, no pet.); Garcia v. State, 17 S.W.3d 1, 5(Tex.App.-Houston[lst. Dist.]l995, pet. ref- I d). Either expert testimony of lay testimony may be sufficient to ,1 Support a deadly weapon finding English v. State, 647 S.W.2d 667, |68-69(Tex.Crim.App.1983); Bailey, 46 S.W.3d at 492. no one factor is determine, and the fact-finder must examine whether the knife I %s a deadly weapon. No expert testimony.was offered to support a f deadly weapon finding. The State is not required to introduce exp- |rt testimony to establish that instrument used in commission of $.rime is deadly weapon, as will permit conviction of aggravated I jj>ffenses; however, expert testimony can be particulary useful in supplementing meager evidence on the issue in order to meet the t. \i Sufficiency requirement. Denham v. State,574 S.w.2d 129,130(Tex. jprim.App.1978); Harris v. State, 562 S.W.2d 463(Tex.Crim.App.1978): Davidson v. State, 602 S.W.2d 272(Tex.Crim.App.1980); Lockett v. |tate, 874 S.W.2d 810, 814(Tex.App.-Dallas 1994. pet. ref'l). Th- i ere was affirmative finding this is why appellant is challengeing |he deadly weapon finding. Ex parte Nelson, 137 S.W.3d 666(Tex.Crim. I App.2004). However, Ms.Burrola case, there was no evidence of a |reapon and thus the conviction in trial cause 1243882D for the of- li . • . fense of Aggravated Assault should be reveral and an acquittal.rend- I!? ered on that charge of Aggravated Assault. | I -11- f; I Issue three, restate:there was legally insufficient evidence to find appellant guilty of aggravated assault based on the evidence present ED. A. Standard of Review 4' I IAppellant contends that the evidence is legally insufficient to I support the verdict. The standard for reviewing a legal sufficiency challenge is whether any rational trier of fact could have found essential elements of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt. See [Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 315-16, 99 S.Ct. 2781, 2786-27- i 87, 61 L.Ed., 2d 560(1979). Tucker v. State, 221 S.W.3d 780, 781 !> j[Tex. App. -Corpus Chirst 2007). The evidence is examined in the |ight most favorable to the verdict. Jackson, 443 U.S. at 320, 99 |.Ct. at 2789; Tucker, 221 S.W.3d at 781. A sucessful legal suffic- (i jlency challenge will result in rendition of an acquittal by the re- fiewing court. See Tibbs v.; Florida, 457 U.S. 31, 41-42, 102 S.C. Ill, 2217-2218, 72 L.Ed.2d 652(1982). | B. Law 4to be convicted of Aggravated Assault, a-person must intentionally or knowly cause bodily injury to complaintant and the defendant did Iise or exhibit a deadly weapon during the commission of the assault I To Wit: a knife that in manner of its use or inrended use was cap able of causeing death or serious injury. Tex Penal Code Ann. § 22. |2 (a) 2 (Venon 2011). Appellant contends the evidence is insuffici ent to prove the deadly weapon element, and serious bodily injury. I C. Problems with the weapon and injruies jMs.Burrola is not sure what kind of knife or knives was used ques tion by Court Appointed Attorney Mr.Canas. 4RR65 lines 10-16. Jose ph testify to a knife but not what kind of knife. 4RR75. Mr.Brown I -12- saids Appelant had no weapon. 4RR103. Mr. Brown said Appellant Gil- bert has no blood on his clothes. 4RR110. Officer Stewart did not write or state where a cut on her neck was or a small scratch or a weapon used in the family violence packed diagram report. 4RR137- •138. Officer Stewart testimony there's no where he saids that he took into evidence a weapon. 4RR128-140; See Evidence List. Detect- Jive Bayer testimony ther clearly no weapon taken into evidence. 4RR- 1.40-149; See Evidence List. The picture's taken of abutcher block jset or pieces of "something" doesn't prove the element of a knife. .-Also these pieces of "something" wasn't entered into police evidence llist so that these pieces of "something " could be DNA Tested to (prove if this was part of the weapon or used in the assault, which ^Officer Stewart destoryed the pieces of"something" that he took a jpicture of. See State's Exhibit 1; Evidence List. There was no fing erprints found on the gloves and no DNA of Appellant. 4RR145-146. ^Appellant did file a Motion Requesting Appiontment of Counsel DNA T- festing with Affidavit telling why gloves and pieces of "something" ^should be tseted, check Court Docket Sheet, it will shows the pieces ^of "something" wasn't entered into evidence so that pieces of "some thing" could be tested for DNA Testing this why Detective Bayer cou ldn't have it tested when he requested DNA Testing on the gloves. URR145-146; See Evidence List; Trial Docket Sheet. This prove the 1; 3ury::didn' t t}r;ovi [2] of the Texas Rule Of Appellant Procedure to determine whether i Tlie Court of Appeals holding was correct will reflect acquittal. The Gourt of Appeals 919 F.2d 1074 vacated and remanded. Johnson v. St^ «|te, 548 S.W.2d 700 (Tex.Crim.App. 1997).
