SHEFFIELD v. STATE

No. 2009-KA-01635-COA.

64 So.3d 529 (2011)

Luther SHEFFIELD a/k/a Luther Wayne Sheffield, Jr., Appellant v. STATE of Mississippi, Appellee.

Court of Appeals of Mississippi.

Rehearing Denied June 28, 2011.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Leslie S. Lee , Jackson, David A. Stephenson , Meridian, Benjamin Allen Suber , attorneys for appellant.

Office of the Attorney General by Billy L. Gore , attorney for appellee.

IRVING, P.J., MYERS and MAXWELL, JJ.

MAXWELL, J., for the Court:

¶ 1. Luther Sheffield appeals his conviction for fondling his teenage daughter. He argues the trial court erred by refusing his proposed jury instruction on simple assault as a lesser-included offense. We disagree and find the record does not support Sheffield's simple-assault instruction because there was no evidence that Sheffield's sexually inappropriate actions caused his daughter imminent fear of serious bodily injury.
