P. v. Hughes CA2/2
Appellant William Franklin Hughes fatally strangled repairperson Lyndi Fisher when, for a second time, she visited his house to repair his refrigerator. Charged with Fisher’s premeditated murder, he entered pleas of not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity, resulting in the bifurcation of his trial into guilt and sanity phases. At the guilt phase, over appellant’s objection, the trial court admitted evidence of an incident in which, several weeks before Fisher’s killing, appellant made sexual advances to a fellow college student at their school.
