		That motion was based on the ground that the state had failed to prove the elements of first-degree assault, specifically, that the state had failed to prove both that the injury was intentional and that the injury constituted a serious physical injury.

		Although the evidence other than the demonstrative evidence appears to be consistent in its characterization of the scar, the photograph that the state introduced at the criminal trial is not in the post-conviction record.
