Opinion
The appellants were indicted and convicted of assault “with a dangerous weapon, that is, shoes” on their feet. There was substantial evidence that each appellant kicked the complaining witness. He was seriously injured.
Appellants contend that shoes on feet are not dangerous weapons. We think it clear that they are, at least when they inflict serious injuries. Cf. Tatum v. United States, 71 App.D.C. 393, 110 F. 2d 555. Appellants’ other contentions do not require discussion.
Affirmed.
