People v. Barr
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION OF THE COURT
Simons, J.
Defendant was indicted for murder second degree in connection with the stabbing death of Samuel Burton. After a *15jury trial he was convicted of manslaughter, first degree. Defendant’s points on appeal require no discussion except for his contention that the court’s charge was erroneous. The dissenters would reverse holding that defendant’s due process rights were denied by the instruction that "a man intends the ordinary and natural consequences of his acts.” (See Sandstrom v Montana, 442 US 510.) We hold otherwise.
It has long been an established rule of evidence…
