State v. Saucier
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury-waived trial, Defendant was convicted of aggravated assault and domestic violence assault. Defendant appealed, contending that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction for aggravated assault. Specifically, Defendant argued that a strangulation incident did not support the finding that he assaulted the victim under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life. The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed, holding that the victim’s testimony supported the court’s finding that Defendant applied enough force to the victim’s neck to impede her breathing, and therefore, the evidence was sufficient to support Defendant’s conviction for aggravated assault.
