Highlight

A court does not err by not giving a jury instruction on license or privilege on a criminal trespass charge when there is no evidence to support it.
A court does not err when it does not include a jury instruction on a lesser-included offense when the evidence does not permit the jury to rationally find the defendant not guilty of the greater offense and guilty of the lesser offense.
A jury verdict of assault on a police officer will be affirmed when the evidence is viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, no rational trier of fact could have found that the essential elements of the crime were established beyond a reasonable doubt.
