State v. Graham
Annotate this CaseAfter a bench trial, Defendant was convicted of attempted kidnapping and assault. Defendant appealed, arguing, among other things, that the trial court erred in analyzing the defense of mental abnormality. The Supreme Court affirmed the conviction, holding (1) the trial court applied the correct analysis in determining whether evidence of Defendant’s purported abnormal condition of mind negated his requisite culpable state of mind; and (2) there was sufficient evidence presented at trial for the trial court to find beyond a reasonable doubt that Defendant acted with the intent to complete the crime of attempted kidnapping.
