offense. “As the requested charges on knowledge and ‘mistake of fact’ would have been essentially redundant, the court did not err in failing to give them. See Hall v. State, 258 Ga.App. 156, 158(2) (573 S.E.2d 415) (2002) . See also Williams v. State, 297 Ga.App. 150, 676 S.E.2d 805 (March 27, 2009); Griffith v. State, 286 Ga.App. 859, 864(7) (650 S.E.2d 413) (2007) ; Copeland v. State, 263 Ga.App. 776, 780(2) (589 S.E.2d 319) (2003) ; Mitchell v. State, 233 Ga.App. 92, 94-95(5) (503 S.E.2d 293) (1998) . Accordingly, these enumerations present no basis for reversal.” Daniel v. State, 285 Ga. 406, 677 S.E.2d 120 (May 18, 2009). Defendant’s claimed “mistake of fact” was not a separate defense, but part of his self-defense claim; the mistake related to whether or not victim was armed. No jury charge on mistake of fact was thus called for. “[Defendant] contends the trial court erred by failing to charge the jury on mistake of fact. Mistake of fact was not a separate defense in that the asserted mistake ‘concerned whether the victim was armed, and thus, whether [Marcus] was justified in shooting first in self-defense.’ Slaughter v. State, 278 Ga. 896 (608 S.E.2d 227) (2005) quoting Ellis v. State, 174 Ga.App. 535, 536(2) (330 S.E.2d 764) (1985).” See also Gaines (January 17, 2008), below. Sheppard v. State, 297 Ga.App. 806, 678 S.E.2d 509 (May 13, 2009). Defendant wasn’t entitled to charge on mistake of fact at his trial for kidnapping, aggravated assault, and related charges. Although defendant contends on appeal that he thought the victim was breaking in to defendant’s brother’s residence, where victim encountered defendant, at trial defendant denied threatening victim with guns or forcing her into the house. “‘One cannot deny committing an act, while at the same time argue he committed the act by mistake.’ Williams v. State, 221 Ga.App. 296, 297(1) (471 S.E.2d 258) (1996).” Accord, Price (February 23, 2010), above. Gaines v. State, 289 Ga.App. 339, 656 S.E.2d 871 (January 17, 2008). “‘Where the defense is justification and self- defense and where, as here, the court gave a complete charge on those principles of law, a defendant is not entitled to a charge’ on mistake of fact. Bell v. State, 280 Ga. 562, 567(5)(b) (629 S.E.2d 213) (2006).” See also Daniel (May 18, 2009), above. Navarro v. State, 279 Ga.App. 311, 630 S.E.2d 893 (May 11, 2006). “‘Mistake of fact is a defense to a crime to the extent that the ignorance of some fact negates the existence of the mental state required to establish a material element of the crime.’ (Punctuation omitted.) Schultz v. State, 267 Ga.App. 240, 242(2) (599 S.E.2d 247) (2004). Here, Navarro testified that he saw his friend being attacked, which prompted him to use the bat apparently in an effort to protect his friend. Thus, the evidence shows that Navarro’s defense was not that he was mistaken, but that he was justified in defending himself and others from attack. And the trial court charged the jury fully on these principles. Under these circumstances, the trial court did not err in declining to instruct the jury on mistake of fact. See Hall v. State, 258 Ga.App. 156, 157-158(1) (573 S.E.2d 415) (2002).” Free v. State, 245 Ga.App. 886, 539 S.E.2d 213 (September 13, 2000). Aggravated assault conviction affirmed; defendant wasn’t entitled to jury charge on mistake of fact where defendant “mistakenly believed that the cordless telephone carried by [victim] was a gun. In Pullin v. State, 257 Ga. 815, 817(3), 364 S.E.2d 848 (1988), the Supreme Court held that ‘inasmuch as the appellant’s defense was based on justification and self-defense, and inasmuch as the trial court gave a full jury charge with respect thereto, ... the appellant was not entitled to a charge on mistake of fact.’ Here, the trial court charged the jury on justification, self-defense, misfortune, and accident. Accordingly, the court did not err in refusing to give a charge on mistake of fact.” Wilson v. State, 241 Ga.App. 773, 527 S.E.2d 623 (January 11, 2000). Convictions for kidnapping and related offenses affirmed; trial court properly refused to charge jury on mistake of fact. Here, defendant attempted to break into Knight’s house; as defendant ran away past Knight, he saw Knight fall down. Despite Knight’s protests, defendant picked him up and put him on the porch, leading to the kidnapping charge. “‘[I]gnorance or mistake of fact constitutes a defense to a criminal charge only if it is “honest and real (and) not superinduced by the fault [or] negligence of the party doing the wrongful act....”’ (Citations omitted.) Clark v. State, 192 Ga.App. 718, 719(2), 386 S.E.2d 378 (1989). Since Wilson's own testimony indicates his misapprehension of fact was the result of his own fault or negligence in committing the burglary and kidnapping, the trial court correctly refused to give an instruction on ‘mistake of fact’ under OCGA § 16-3-5. Crawford v. State, 267 Ga. 543, 544-545(2), 480 S.E.2d 573 (1997).” Harden v. State, 239 Ga.App. 700, 521 S.E.2d 829 (August 24, 1999). At defendant’s trial for selling cocaine, trial court properly refused to charge on mistake of fact. Defendant denied that he participated in drug sale as alleged, claiming instead that he was trying to collect money owed him by the other person involved in drug sale to undercover agent.
