United States Eleventh Circuit
US v. Martinez, 06-13429
Conviction and sentence for defendant prisoner's forcibly assault of a federal officer by spraying urine on him are affirmed over claims that: 1) the district court erred in giving the government's proposed jury instructions on the elements of the offense; 2) the government failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that defendant intended to inflict serious bodily injury; 3) the district court abused its discretion when it prohibited him from arguing during closing about the government's failure to produce a videotape of the incident; and 4) the district court erred in its order requiring defendant to pay restitution to the victim for his medical bills.
