““First, the appellant claims the state failed to prove intent. This court in Hollis v. State, 417 So.2d 617 (Ala.Crim.App.1982), held that the criminal intent necessary for assault in the first degree may be inferred from the ‘circumstances of violence and brutality.’ In Hollis , the defendant was found guilty of first degree assault for beating his 81-year-old mother. Likewise, in this cause, the appellant’s intent to harm the victim can be inferred from the injuries she suffered.””
