State v. Ramon A. G.

Summary

The court affirmed the Appellate Court's judgment, concluding that the defendant failed to preserve his claim that the jury should have been instructed on the defense of personal property in connection with the assault charge. His general written request did not give fair notice of that specific alleged defect, and the record showed no later objection identifying it. The court also held that defense counsel's conduct affirmatively demonstrated waiver because counsel reviewed and accepted the proposed instruction despite having a tactical reason to pursue a different theory. No separate opinions were filed.
