THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA In The Supreme Court The State, Respondent, v. Robert T. Carroll, Appellant. Appeal from Greenwood County Eugene C. Griffith, Circuit Court Judge Memorandum Opinion No. 2012-MO-006 Heard January 24, 2012 Filed April 4, 2012 AFFIRMED William Norman Epps, III, of Epps, Nelson and Epps, of Anderson, for Appellant. Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott Senior Assistant Attorney General Harold M. Coombs, Jr., of Office of the Attorney General, of Columbia, Solicitor Jerry W. Peace, of Greenwood, for Respondent. PER CURIAM: Robert Carroll appeals his convictions for first degree burglary, assault and battery with intent to kill (ABIK), and possession of a firearm or knife during the commission of a violent crime. He contends the circuit court erred in charging the jury that it could infer malice from the presence of a deadly weapon and that the required intent for ABIK was a general intent to commit serious bodily harm. He also argues the circuit court erred in admitting a 911 tape into evidence, failing to quash his indictments, and failing to grant a new trial on the first degree burglary charge. We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities: AFFIRMED. TOAL, C.J., PLEICONES, BEATTY, KITTREDGE and HEARN, JJ., concur.
