Summit, Utah aggravated assault criminal defense lawyer represented the Defendant.
Nicole Cote Rosecrans was charged with one count of aggravated assault for threatening her mother, Nancy Rosecrans, with a butcher knife and two counts of misdemeanor assault for hitting Nancy in the face and biting her fingers.[1] After a bench trial, Nicole was acquitted of aggravated assault but convicted of the misdemeanor assault charges. Nicole now appeals that decision, asserting that her counsel rendered ineffective assistance for not arguing self-defense specifically on the misdemeanor charges and that the trial court committed plain error by not making findings of fact and conclusions of law in support of its verdict.
