People v. Jornov

In People v. Jornov, 65 AD3d 363 [4th Dept 2009], the Court found that a victim who sustained a bite wound to his right leg, for which he was prescribed antibiotics, and a torn hamstring for which he was instructed to take anti-inflammatory medication and attend physical therapy for six to eight weeks, did not suffer a serious physical injury within the meaning of the statute. The Court stated that there was no evidence that the victim sustained "protracted impairment of health" as a result of the incident.
