Criminal Law Appellate Court Opinion

by Townsend, Karen

 

AC45621 - State v. Anthony V. (Manslaughter first degree with firearm; plain error doctrine; claim of insufficient evidence; “The defendant claims that (1) the evidence is insufficient to support his conviction and (2) the court’s failure to instruct the jury on general intent constituted plain error. Although we disagree with the defendant’s claim of evidentiary insufficiency, we agree with his claim of instructional error under the plain error doctrine. Accordingly, we reverse the judgment of the trial court.”)
