Syllabus

The trial court did not prejudicially err in its instructions to the jury, nor did the trial court err by denying appellant's motion for a new trial, where there was overwhelming evidence to support appellant's conviction for assault on a peace officer and tampering with evidence where appellant, with the assistance of a thermal optics scope, shot a peace officer presumably believing the officer was in actuality a deer, causing the officer significant physical harm, while appellant was trespassing on private property nearby to where the officer had just moments before placed a decoy deer as part of a sting operation to catch illegal deer hunters.
