S.D. Ill.
Holding: 
Affirmed
Record contained sufficient evidence to support jury’s guilty verdict on charge of assault resulting in serious bodily injury to another inmate. While defendant argued that he did not inflict serious bodily injury on victim, evidence was sufficient to establish serious bodily injury element of offense as contained in 18 USC section 113(b)(2) where defendant indicated during incident that he was attempting to kill victim and stomped victim in head multiple times with steel-toed shoe, and where defendant caused victim to incur concussion, long-term headaches, lacerations to face and broken nose.
