Commonwealth v. Menginie

How courts have described this case

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

• reversing driver’s conviction for conspiracy to commit voluntary manslaughter when passenger in the back seat shot the victim; “there is no evidence that [driver] encouraged, acquiesced in, or even knew that the person in the rear [seat] had a gun, or that he intended to use it”
• noting evidence “might warrant the inference that [the defendant] and his companions expressly or tacitly agreed to taunt or ‘bully’ the victim and his family,” but holding such evidence was insufficient to support inference of unlawful agreement to kill or inflict serious bodily injury
