Description
Appellant William Glen Hulbert appeals from his convictions for third offense domestic assault and wanton endangerment with a firearm. In challenging his conviction for domestic assault under West Virginia Code 61-2-28(c) (1994) (Repl.Vol.2000), Appellant argues that a third offense conviction under this statute is only permitted when the predicate offenses were committed in this state. Because his two prior convictions were from Kalamazoo County, Michigan, Defendant contends that the third offense conviction cannot be upheld. Appellant challenges his conviction under West Virginia Code 61-7-12 (1994) (Repl.Vol.2000) for wanton endangerment with a firearm, arguing that a required element of that offense is a discharge of the firearm. Appellant further asserts error based on the trial courts refusal to strike for cause a particular juror, whose voir dire testimony suggested an increased propensity to find Appellant guilty if she was apprised of prior domestic assault convictions. Based on our review of the record, we find no merit to Appellants assignments of error concerning the wanton endangerment conviction and voir dire, but we do find error with regard to the domestic violence conviction. Accordingly, we affirm, in part; reverse, in part; and remand for entry of a new sentencing order consistent with the holdings of this opinion.
