How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that trial court did not err in omitting unrequested instruction sought for first time on appeal
  • reforming judgment to reflect that appellant was convicted of aggravated assault and not “aggravated assault against pb servant”
  • “Examining the record, we find nothing indicating that the trial court understood that appellant’s request for ‘self-defense’ meant a request for the charge of deadly force to prevent the commission of murder, robbery and aggravated robbery.”
  • specifically requested instruction is sufficient “so long as it calls attention to an error or omission in the proposed instructions”
  • “[A]ppellant concedes, and the record reflects, that he did not object to the omission of the specific desired deadly force instruction or request its inclusion in the charge. We hold that appellant waived error . . . .”
