Heading: sufficiency of the evidence

Text: Instruction S-5, given with no objection, charged the jury to find Holloman guilty of DUI maiming if it found beyond a reasonable doubt that Holloman had, as a result of his negligent operation of a motor vehicle while intoxicated, mutilated, disfigured or permanently disabled David Denham. Denham suffered a fractured pelvis. There was testimony that Denham's injuries were serious and would have been life-threatening without medical treatment. At trial, Denham still suffered pain and an occasional limp. This evidence is sufficient to find that Denham was permanently disabled or disfigured, as defined in C-A-8 [3] , as a result of Holloman's negligence while intoxicated. Therefore, this issue is without merit.
