SHEHYN v. UNITED STATES

No. 4951.

256 A.2d 404 (1969)

Roderick R. SHEHYN, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided August 7, 1969.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John H. Treanor, Jr., for appellant.

Harvey S. Price, Asst. U. S. Atty., with whom Thomas A. Flannery, U. S. Atty., Roger E. Zuckerman and Robert A. Shuker, Asst. U. S. Attys., were on the brief, for appellee.

Before FICKLING, KERN and GALLAGHER, Associate Judges.

FICKLING, Associate Judge:

Appellant was convicted by a jury of assault, D.C.Code § 22-504. After the court charged the jury on assault and self-defense, the instruction set forth in the margin1 was given and objected to on the ground that it did not correctly state the law on the defense of one's property. The objection was well taken. However, we hold it was harmless error in the context of the case as a whole.
