Brandau v. Commonwealth

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that the only reasonable conclusion to be reached from the evidence that the defendant fired a gun multiple times through a door with a person on the other side was that he intended to kill the victim
• holding that \the weight of the credible evidence that will amount to more than a mere scintilla of evidence is a matter to be resolved on a case-by-case basis\ by assessing the evidence in support of a proposition against the \other credible evidence that negates\ it
• refusing a jury instruction for the lesser-included offense of assault and battery was not error when physical evidence contradicted defendant’s testimony that he only intended to shoot in an attempt to scare away the individual at the door
