P. v. Franklin
A jury convicted Robert Franklin of one count of felony assault by force likely to produce great bodily injury (Pen. Code, § 245, former subd. (a)(1), now subd. (a)(4), as amended by Stats. 2011, ch. 183, § 1, eff. Jan. 1, 2012). Franklin appeals, arguing the evidence was insufficient to support the great bodily injury element because the assault involved only fists and the victim, despite his fragility, suffered minimal injury. We conclude there is no merit to this contention and affirm the judgment.
