Rhodes v. State

How courts have described this case

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

• a requested charge on misdemeanor manslaughter was properly denied where the evidence established the reason for appellant’s pointing the weapon at another was to place that person in apprehension of immediate violent injury
• the act of pointing a firearm at another does not constitute aggravated assault where the victim is completely unaware that the firearm is pointed at him
• appellant’s act of using a deadly weapon in such a manner as to place the victim in reasonable apprehension of immediate violent injury constituted the felony of aggravated assault and thus he was not entitled to a jury instruction on involuntary manslaughter
