Substantial bodily harm includes bodily injury that causes a laceration requiring stitches. . If you are satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant intentionally entered a building, that the entry of the building by the defendant was without the consent of the person in lawful possession, that the defendant knew that he did not have such consent and that the defendant entered the building with the intent to commit a felony, you should find the defendant guilty. The trial court declined Hammer's request to instruct the jury that the verdict had to be unanimous as to the felony that Hammer intended to commit when he entered the victims' dwelling. Hammer was convicted. Judgment was entered.
Hammer now appeals.
We reject his contention. A trial court has wide discretion in deciding what instructions to give to a jury. If the instructions of the court adequately cover the law applicable to the facts, this court will not reverse the conviction. A defendant is entitled to unanimity with respect to the ultimate issue of guilt or innocence. In addressing Hammer's unanimity claim, we engage in a two-step process.
