Wyman v. Winslow

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that, because the statute defining the offense of aggravated rape does not express a required culpable mental state and does not plainly state that no culpable mental state is required, pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated section 39-11-301(c
• concluding that offense of aggravated rape may be committed with intent, knowledge, or recklessness and, thus, that it was not error for the trial court to include the mens rea of recklessly in its charge to the jury
• rejecting defendant’s claim that the use of the word “or” in listing the alternative culpable mental states for the offense of aggravated rape violates state and federal constitutional protections against the possibility of non-unanimous jury verdicts
