  • Whether the district court erred in affirming the Defendant's remaining convictions.

Disposition

  • Reversed and vacated Defendant’s conviction with regard to Count 2 of aggravated assault on a peace officer.
  • Affirmed the judgment and sentence of the district court with regard to Defendant’s remaining convictions.

Reasons

  • Per HANISEE, Chief Judge (ATTREP, J., and HENDERSON, J., concurring):
    The Court initially proposed to affirm all convictions but reconsidered one conviction of aggravated assault on a peace officer after the Defendant's opposition, highlighting the State's failure to present evidence on one victim's status as a law enforcement officer (para 1). Upon review, and with the State not opposing the Court's proposed reversal on this count, the Court decided to reverse and vacate the conviction related to Count 2. However, the Court remained unpersuaded by the Defendant's arguments against his remaining convictions and affirmed those, citing reasons discussed in the second notice of proposed summary disposition (paras 1-2).
