Description
DECISION & ORDER On March 5, 1988, the defendant stabbed a woman to death outside of a bar in Newburgh, New York. The
defendant argues on appeal that the evidence was legally insufficient to support her conviction for manslaughter in the first
degree because the People failed to prove that she acted with intent to cause serious physical injury to the victim. We disagree. Viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the prosecution (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we conclude that
there was legally sufficient evidence of the defendant's intent to cause serious physical injury to the victim. Two witnesses
testified that the defendant displayed a knife earlier in the evening. The defendant told both witnesses that she was prepared
if anyone "messed" with her. The defendant stated to one witness that she would "kill" anyone that "f**ked" with her. All
of the witnesses portrayed the defendant as the initial aggressor. One witness heard the defendant tell the victim that she
was going to cut her.
