How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • explaining that even “[a] defendant who lacks knowledge that his co-defendant possessed the gun that was used to commit an aggravated assault may nevertheless be a party to the aggravated assault,” if he shared a criminal intent to commit an assault on the victim
  • noting Cash’s argument that a jury charge on a lesser-included offense was warranted based on “evidence that at the time the assaults took place, he thought there would be only some sort of fight and he was unaware that Wright was in possession of a weapon”
  • “A defendant who lacks knowledge that his co-defendant possessed the gun that was used to commit an aggravated assault may nevertheless be a party to the aggravated assault.”
  • “The trial court’s duty in delivering charges to the jury is to tailor those charges not only to the indictment but also adjust them to the evidence at trial. Any instructions should stand upon a base founded in evidence or lack thereof.” (citation and punctuation omitted)
  • although appellant contended that he did not know that victim would be present or that his accomplice would shoot her, evidence was sufficient for the jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that appellant was a party to the aggravated assault of victim under doctrine of transferred intent
