Supreme Court of Vermont April 11, 2011, 09-232 (State v. Russell)

¶ 1. Defendant appeals his jury conviction for aggravated assault, arguing: (1) it was error to admit certain correspondence he sent while incarcerated because its content was irrelevant and prejudicial; (2) the evidence presented was not sufficient to support a jury verdict of guilty; and (3) the court’s denial of his request for a jury charge on the lesser offense of simple assault was in error.
