“In connection with the definitions of aggravated assault, I'm going to recharge you on that. And I'm instructing you now to disregard any prior definitions of aggravated assault that I may have given you. And to use in lieu thereof the charge that I'm going to give you now. And that I'm going to send a copy of which out to you. Still we have got to make a distinction. I'm sending you out basically the entire Code section on aggravated assault. But we have to make a distinction between the aggravated assault which is alleged in the indictment which alleges that the aggravated assault was committed with a deadly weapon, and ... that must be proved. And the definition of aggravated assault in conjunction with the justification part of the case. So what I'm going to do just for purposes, I hope of showing you exactly what I mean is I'm going to read the entire charge. But I'm also going to point out which law would apply to which aspect of the case. The State's allegation that there was a felony murder, and that the felony was aggravated assault. And that the particular aggravated assault was an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. And then I will charge you on the other general section of aggravated assault or the whole section that you could apply if you felt like it did apply based on the other instructions of the court and other instructions to the facts of the case through the justification aspects of the case. Okay, A, an assault is an attempt to commit a violent injury”
