State v. Gonzalez

After a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of manslaughter in the first degree with a firearm as an accessory, among other crimes. The convictions arose from a shooting that occurred during an altercation in a housing complex. The appellate court reversed the manslaughter conviction, concluding that insufficient evidence supported the conclusion that Defendant acted as an accessory by intentionally aiding Donald Wilson, the person who fired the fatal shots. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the record contained insufficient evidence to prove that Defendant assisted Wilson in the commission of the homicide.View "State v. Gonzalez" on Justia Law
