Syllabus

Appellant's felonious assault conviction was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence, as the evidence established that Appellant knowingly caused the victim to suffer serious physical harm. In addition, under the circumstances of this case, the trial court's failure to sua sponte instruct the jury on aggravated assault as an alternative to felonious assault does not amount to plain error since the record indicates that Appellant proceeded solely on the theory of self-defense at trial. Judgment affirmed.
