  10. Knox v. State

    254 Ga. App. 870 (Ga. Ct. App. 2002)   Cited 8 times

    When the general grounds are asserted, as here, only the sufficiency of the evidence can be considered. Yawn v. State, 237 Ga. App. 206 ( 515 S.E.2d 182) (1999). A person commits the crime of aggravated assault by committing an assault with a deadly weapon or with any object, device, or instrument, which when used offensively against another person, is likely to . . . result in serious bodily injury. McLeod v. State, 245 Ga. App. 668, 669 (3) ( 538 S.E.2d 759) (2000); see O.C.G.A. § 16-5-21 (a) (2). The question of whether an object or instrumental that was used against someone constitutes a deadly or offensive weapon is properly for a jury to decide.
