Heading: The Assault Convictions

Text: ¶ 41 The evidence supporting Monday's assault convictions is overwhelming. The entire confrontation between Monday and Francisco Green was captured on videotape, which is approximately three minutes in length. The videotape shows Monday raising and aiming his gun directly at Green after 2 minutes and 36 seconds of verbal provocations and escalating scuffles between Monday and Green. The videotape then shows that Monday, after a pause of 3 seconds, shot at Green and kept shooting at him  a total of 11 times as Green ran away. Monday's bullets struck Green in the left upper back, the lower middle back, the left side of the chest, and the back of the left forearm. Green's left lung was perforated by the shot to the upper back, and his small intestine was perforated five times by the shot to the lower back. Death ensued from the multiple gunshot wounds. The elements of assault [2] were clearly proved beyond a reasonable doubt in this case.
