Abstract

In the Blackfeet Tribal Court of Appeals, the Court affirmed a lower court conviction of a Defendant for Assault and Battery after the Court found that there was sufficient evidence for the judge to find beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the crime. The Appellant posed otherwise. The prosecution presented evidence on ability, motive, and intent, which are all essential elements of the crime under Blackfeet Tribal Law and Order Code, Ch. 5, Sec. 2, “Any Indian who shall willfully strike another person...shall be deemed guilty of Assault and Battery.”
