Michigan Court of Appeals
Decided September 10, 1987No. Docket 87338PublishedCited by 14 opinions
1Per curiam
Defendant appeals as of right from a jury conviction of second-degree murder, MCL 750.317; MSA 28.549. Following the conviction, defendant was sentenced to a term of from five to twenty-five years in prison. We affirm.
Defendant’s conviction arose out of the November 2, 1984, stabbing death of Rubin Smith. Defendant was originally charged with open murder, MCL 750.316; MSA 28.548. The jury was unable to reach a verdict on this charge and the trial court granted defendant’s motion for a directed verdict as to the first-degree murder charge reducing the charge to second-degree murder.
