Description
Defendant-Appellant David Hill Mayfield was charged with assault with intent to murder (count one); conspiracy to commit murder (count two); assault against a peace officer with a deadly weapon (count three); and conspiracy to assault a peace officer with a deadly weapon (count four). After trial to a jury, Mayfield was acquitted of the first two counts, convicted of the latter two, and subsequently sentenced to the penitentiary. He brings this appeal pursuant to that conviction, contending that (1) the evidence was insufficient to sustain a conviction for assault upon the person of a police officer; (2) the trial court abused its discretion in denying defendants motion to require the prosecution to elect between the two substantive counts; (3) the trial court erred in failing to grant defendants motion for a new trial since the verdicts of not guilty on "assault with intent to murder" and guilty of "assault on a peace officer with a deadly weapon" were inconsistent. We affirm.
