Troy Williamson, Defendant Below, Appellant v. State of Delaware, Plaintiff Below, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed Williamson's conviction for second-degree assault of a law-enforcement officer, holding that the evidence sufficiently established physical injury. The officer's bruised leg and pulled groin muscle impaired his leg movement for four to six weeks, satisfying the statutory definition even though he did not seek medical treatment. The court also held that a defendant's not-guilty plea in a bench trial preserves a sufficiency-of-the-evidence claim despite the absence of a formal acquittal motion.
