How courts have described this case

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

• finding that accidental conduct cannot be equated with recklessness, a less demanding intent element than knowing
• finding the circuit court’s express opinion that it “didn’t find Mr. Spani did anything intentionally. It was an accident ***.” was incompatible with the court’s finding of 13 guilt
• weapon discharged as defendant placed it on a table; conviction for involuntary manslaughter overturned on the grounds of insufficient evidence
