Commonwealth v. Perkins (ORDER)
green
2 sentences2023Although Fitzgerald’s assignment of error is perhaps inartfully worded, we nevertheless conclude that the assignment of error “adequately puts the [C]ourt and opposing counsel on notice as to ‘what points [Fitzgerald]’s counsel intends to ask a reversal of the judgment or decree’ and prevents them from having to ‘hunt through the record for every conceivable error which the court below may have committed.’” Findlay v. Commonwealth, 287 Va. 111 , 116 (2014). -4- “To be guilty of malicious wounding, a person must also intend to permanently, not merely temporarily, harm another person.” Perkins, 2023“Intent is the purpose formed in a person’s mind which may, and often must, be inferred from the facts and circumstances in a particular case.” Id. | 1 | 2023–2023 |
