P. v. Parkerson CA4/3
Appellant Randy Lee Parkerson strangled Zoraida Reyes to death while they were having sex in the back of his car. At trial, appellant claimed Reyes wanted him to choke her to enhance her sexual stimulation, and her death was just an accident. Despite this, the jury convicted him of second degree implied malice murder. On appeal, he contends reversal is required because the jury’s instructions on his accident defense and the lesser included offense of involuntary manslaughter were flawed. We disagree and affirm the judgment.
