Description

Appellant Jerry Dale Parks was convicted by a jury of attempted murder (Pen. Code, § 187), assault with a deadly weapon (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (a)), and assault with a deadly weapon upon a police officer (Pen. Code, § 245, subd. (b)) from which judgment he appeals. As in People v. Rocha (1971) 3 Cal. 3d 893 [92 Cal. Rptr. 172, 479 P.2d 372], the principal question raised by this appeal is whether a violation of Penal Code section 245, subdivision (a) (assault with a deadly weapon) is a crime requiring proof of general or specific intent. In accordance with our decision in Rocha we hold that only a general criminal intent must be demonstrated for an assault with a deadly weapon and affirm the judgment in its entirety.
