California Court of Appeal
People v. Nguyen, 052484
Conviction for aggravated assault on a police officer, Pen. Code section 245(c), based on a situation in which defendant wielded a large knife and took a step toward police officers after the officers ordered him to put the knife down, is affirmed over defendant's claim that the 'present ability' element of the crime was missing, as a matter of law, given the 10-to 15-foot distance between him and the officers at the time of the incident.
