P. v. Davis
Defendant David Marshall Davis and his stepson, 16 year-old D.W., were cleaning out a room in the family home when D.W. fell asleep. Defendant threw a plastic object at D.W., striking his right eye. Defendant also punched him in the ribs about 10 times. As a result, D.W. had a horizontal line across his field of vision which did not heal.
Later that week, defendant assaulted his cohabitant, D.W.’s mother Page G. He pushed her against the kitchen wall, hit her in the face with a closed fist, and threw her to the ground. Page G. was three months pregnant with defendant’s child. While she was on the ground, defendant stomped on her stomach with his foot and yelled that he hoped she would miscarry. He also threatened to kill Page G. if she got law enforcement involved. D.W. distracted defendant by letting the dogs in, and then fled with his mother.
