Description
On April 17, 1984, defendant was convicted by a jury of extortion, MCL 750.213; MSA 28.410, and of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder, MCL 750.84; MSA 28.279. She was sentenced to from 3 to 20 years' imprisonment on the extortion conviction and to from 3 to 10 years' imprisonment on the assault conviction, both sentences to run concurrently. She now appeals as of right, claiming that there was insufficient evidence to convict her of extortion and, if there was sufficient evidence, the convictions for both extortion and assault with intent to commit great bodily harm less than murder constituted double jeopardy. We reverse defendant's extortion conviction and affirm her assault conviction. On November 17, 1983, defendant telephoned Trudy Hallisy, the property manager for Charles Lane Apartments in Pontiac, and complained bitterly that Hallisy had been spreading lies about defendant. Ms. Hallisy hung up on defendant and defendant telephoned a second time, this time asserting that defendant was going to sue Ms. Hallisy for $21,000. Again Hallisy hung up. Thereafter, Hallisy locked the office door and went to the rest room area in the office to dry her hair which was still wet from a recent haircut. As she was doing so, she heard the front door crack and break open. Ms. Hallisy then found herself being charged by defendant. Defendant attacked Hallisy first by choking her and then by beating her with Hallisy's hairdryer. During this attack, defendant ordered Hallisy to draft and sign a note stating that Hallisy had reported lies about defendant. Hallisy complied with defendant's directions because of the beating she was receiving from defendant.
