STATE v. HICKMAN (2021)

Order

Stephen Hickman appeals his conviction, following a bench trial, of two counts of fourth-degree domestic assault under § 565.076. He raises two points on appeal. He argues that the trial court erred in denying his motion for judgment of acquittal on Count I (knowingly inflicting offensive physical contact) because the evidence was insufficient to establish the absence of self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt and Count II (domestic assault by isolation) because the evidence was insufficient to prove the elements of intent and isolation beyond a reasonable doubt. Finding no error, we affirm. Rule 30.25(b).
