DISSENTING OPINION ON STATE’S MOTION FOR REHEARING
MORRISON, Judge.
In my opinion Article 42, V.A.P.C., has no application to the case at bar. It is necessary to quote only a portion of Officer Williams’ testimony in order to illustrate what I mean: “He (appellant) had a knife and was walking toward her (Idonia Pierre) at the time and he turned and came to me and he was right on me and I tried to dodge him when he pulled the knife at me and when I did he hit me in the back.” This does not spell “mistake or accident” or “throwing a missile resulting in injury to the wrong person” to me.
I again dissent.
