P. v. Medina CA2/5
A jury found defendant and appellant Gaspar Medina (defendant), who was charged with murder, guilty only of the lesser included offense of voluntary manslaughter. In light of the instructions given during trial, the jury apparently believed defendant actually but unreasonably believed he needed to use deadly force when fatally stabbing 59-year-old victim Gregory Aggers (Aggers). Defendant asks us to decide whether the evidence he acted unreasonably is sufficient to sustain his conviction for the lesser offense.
