Reasons

• Per VANZI, J. (HANISEE, J., and DUFFY, J., concurring): The Court initially proposed to conclude that the evidence was sufficient to support the two convictions for aggravated assault but insufficient to support the third conviction for negligent use of a deadly weapon based on the same conduct. After considering the Defendant's memorandum in opposition and motion to amend the docketing statement, the Court issued a second notice granting the Defendant’s motion to amend to consider the issue of double jeopardy. The Court ultimately reversed the third conviction on the basis that it violated the Defendant's double jeopardy rights, as the State did not oppose this conclusion.
