How courts have described this case

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

• reversing denial of MJOA because evidence was legally insufficient to prove “substantial pain”
• explain- ing that the phrase “substantial pain” refers “both to the degree and the duration of pain subjectively experienced by a victim”
• “Ordinarily, whether a victim has suffered ‘substantial pain’ is a question for the trier of fact; however, whether the evidence is sufficient to submit that question to the factfinder depends on the nature of the evidence itself.” (Emphasis omitted.)
• insufficient evidence of substantial pain where “slight swelling” on the victim’s cheek and “several small scratches or bruises” were not vis- ible the next day, and the victim “squarely den[ied] that she experienced any pain”
