Although King testified the victim's injury occurred when she tripped over a cord and fell while trying to run from him, "[i]t is the function of the jury to determine the credibility of witnesses and to weigh and resolve any conflicts in the testimony."

And “it is not necessary that the victim suffer the total loss of [her] member in order to be the victim of an aggravated battery.”
