How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- victim, quadriplegic as result of shooting, caught ordinary, usually nonthreatening respiratory infection and died of pneumonia, a common complication of quadriplegia
- “A reviewing court may only overturn a jury’s finding by concluding that no reasonable trier of fact could have found the requisite elements of the offense proven beyond a reasonable doubt.”
- causation established where the victim died of pneumonia five years after defendant shot and paralyzed him because the victim’s paralysis made him more susceptible to pneumonia and less capable of surviving it
