P. v. Brice CA2/3
At his trial for murder, Kenneth Brice, Jr., (defendant) tried to introduce expert testimony about the “fight or flight” response to a stressful situation, here, a fight during which defendant stabbed the victim. The trial court excluded the testimony. Nonetheless, the jury found defendant guilty of the lesser offense of voluntary manslaughter. Defendant appeals, contending the court erred by excluding the evidence. He also contends the court improperly instructed the jury regarding consciousness of guilt based on flight, because he went home after stabbing the victim. We find no error and affirm the judgment.
