How courts have described this case

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

district court has authority to submit jury instruction on lesser included offense after granting judgment of acquittal on greater offense
where trial court grants motion for judgment of acquittal on greater offense, it retains authority to submit lesser included offense to jury
where lesser offense was a lesser included offense of the charged offense and differed only in the degree of injury and the mental state, lesser offense was readily ascertainable from the information
instruction on lesser included offense was proper even though it was an attempt to salvage a conviction where evidence supporting one element of greater offense was lacking; lesser offense was not remote in degree from the greater offense
