Commonwealth v. Hodges

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding evidence was sufficient to sustain the appellant’s simple assault conviction, where the appellant placed the complainant in a chokehold; punched and kicked the complainant; and fled immediately following the incident
• explaining that “a decrease is at issue, not an increase in penalty”
• identifying mutual combat as a mitigating factor at sentencing for which the defendant bears the burden of proof
• deeming evidence sufficient to establish Hodges intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly caused bodily injury to the victim when he grabbed her around the throat, refused to let go when she tried to loosen his hold, and kicked and punched her after releasing her neck
