Gordon v. the State

How courts have described this case

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

• the two offenses of aggravated assault and felony obstruction, as described in the indictment and the Code, were not proved by the same evidence, and thus the rule of lenity did not apply
• conviction for aggravated assault did not require proof that assault was “upon a peace officer while the peace officer is engaged in, or on account of the performance of, his or her official duties”; therefore it did not merge with obstruction of a peace officer conviction
