Description
The defendant, Frances Wright, was charged with assault and battery in the county court of Dawes County, Nebraska. A jury found her guilty and she was sentenced to 30 days in jail. On appeal the District Court affirmed the conviction and sentence. Frances Wright, the defendant, and Karilyn Cook were both students at Chadron State College and lived in the same dormitory. On the evening of March 20, 1975, both girls were drinking in the same bar, but with different groups. Sometime before midnight they met again at another club. Sometime later, when the two girls were in a restroom, the defendant seized Karilyn by her hair and accused her of spreading gossip about the defendant. The defendant struck Karilyn across the face and shouted at her, but Karilyn was rescued by another girl. When Karilyn and her escort started to leave the club, the defendant again grabbed Karilyn and they tumbled to the ground together. Karilyn's escort intervened and drove Karilyn back to the dormitory. They were talking in the car when the defendant arrived at the dormitory. The defendant asked Karilyn to get out of the car. Karilyn refused and tried to shut the car door but the defendant dragged her out of the car onto the ground and proceeded to strike her around the head and face, and, when others intervened, kicked Karilyn in the shoulder or face. Karilyn had a bloody nose and bruises and contusions around the head and face. She was taken to the hospital where she remained for more than 24 hours.
