In every First Degree Assault case, the prosecution bears the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The burden of proof is always on the prosecution and never the client, plus the jury’s verdict must be unanimous.
In order to prove the offense of First Degree Assault, the State must prove that the Defendant committed an assault on the victim and one of the following additional elements:
(1) the defendant used a firearm to commit assault; or
(2) the defendant intended to cause serious physical injury in the commission of the assault.
