Appellant Brief in State v. Anderson

Appellant’s Brief addressing trial court’s denial of defendant’s motion to dismiss where the state did not prove the defendant’s actions proximately caused the decedents’ deaths and another individual’s actions were a superseding cause of the decedents’ deaths which broke the chain of causation. Also addresses trial court’s failure to instruct on whether intentional acts by another individual and the decedents were intervening and superseding causes of their deaths. Finally, the brief addresses the trial court’s failure to instruct on the lesser included offense of involuntary manslaughter where the evidence of malice was in conflict. Brief filed in Jan. 2023 in 2017 case.
