P. v. Mwesigwa
Ishmael Mwesigwa appeals from a judgment convicting him of corporal injury to a cohabitant and other offenses arising from his assault on his girlfriend. He contends (1) the trial court erred when it admitted evidence of a photograph of a cleaver, (2) the trial court erred when it refused to instruct regarding the defense of accident, (3) the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions, (4) the prosecutor committed prejudicial misconduct in closing argument to the jury, and (5) the trial court erred in denying probation. Court reject his contentions, except Court agree the trial court should have instructed the jury regarding his accident defense. However, we find the instructional error harmless. Accordingly, Court affirm the judgment.
