Description
Defendant appeals his conviction of simple assault on a police officer, 13 V.S.A. § § 1023(a) and 1028, attempting to elude a police officer, 23 V.S.A. § 1133 , and reckless operation of an automobile, 23 V.S.A. § 1091. Defendant urges numerous grounds for reversal: (1) that the jury charge was in error because it failed to state that knowledge that the victim was a police officer is an element of the crime of simple assault on a law enforcement officer; (2) that the jury charge was in error because it failed to state that scienter is an element of the crime of eluding a police officer; (3) that the counts of the information alleging these two elements were defective because they did not allege this scienter element; (4) that evidence offered to prove that the alleged victim was the aggressor was erroneously excluded; (5) that the exclusion of a state police personnel file containing potentially relevant and exculpatory materials was in error, and; (6) that the delay between arrest and trial denied him a speedy trial. We reject each of these claims and affirm.
