German v. State

Defendant-appellant Charles German was convicted of the crime of involuntary manslaughter following a trial before a jury. His motion to correct errors was overruled by the trial court, and he perfected this appeal.

On appeal, German contends that there was insufficient evidence adduced at trial to support his conviction in that proof of his intent to point a firearm at the decedent was a necessary element of the crime with which he was charged, and there was no evidence introduced at trial tending to establish such an intent.
