WAS SHE AN AGENT OF HARM?

GRABBED A SCHOOL SAFETY AGENT AND SCRATCHED HER SIX TIMES

After she was convicted, by the Bronx County Criminal Court of the City of New York, of “attempted assault in the third degree, harassment in the second degree and disorderly conduct,” J.D. appealed to the Appellate Term, First Department.

Upon its review of the record, the AT1 could find no basis to disturb the outcome, as the verdict was supported by “legally sufficient evidence and was not against the weight of the evidence.”

Apparently, J.D. was found to have “grabbed” and “scratched” a school safety agent “approximately six times, causing several bloody lacerations to the victim's chest.” J.D. was found to have done so “with the intent to cause physical injury … and with the intent to harass, annoy or alarm.”

Do you find that alarming?
