620 State v. Henry
JAMES, P. J.
We originally affirmed defendant’s convictions and
sentence without opinion. State v. Henry,
(2022).
Defendant originally raised, among other assignments of error, a plain error challenge to the following jury
instruction:
“When used in the phrase ‘knowingly … causes physical
injury to another person,’ ‘knowingly’ means that the person acts with an awareness that he is assaulting another
person. The state does not need to prove that the person
acted with an awareness that his conduct would cause a
particular result.”
That instruction related to Count 4, in which the state had
charged defendant with fourth-degree assault after defendant struck the victim on the arm. In his opening brief,
defendant argued that the trial court had plainly erred
in giving the uniform instruction quoted above because it
omitted a culpable mental state as to physical injury.
Defendant asks us to reconsider our affirmance on
that assignment of error. The state concedes that, in light of
Owen and McKinney/Shiffer, the trial court plainly erred in
instructing the jury on fourth-degree assault. We accept the
concession.
Reconsideration allowed; former opinion withdrawn;
conviction on Count 4 reversed and remanded; remanded for
resentencing; otherwise affirmed.
