2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Mundon · State v. PECPEC“In our opinion, an instrument, within the clear import of the provisions of Section 708-840, does not attain the character of a dangerous instrument unless “in the manner it [the instrument] is used or threatened to be used is capable of producing death or serious bodily injury.” The statute creates factual criteria requiring the prosecution to adduce evidence meeting the criteria. It is then clearly a question offact for the jury to resolve whether the prosecution has proved an essential element of the crime of which defendant is tried.”
