State v. Gatto
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the judgment of the trial court convicting Defendant of depraved indifference murder pursuant to Me. Rev. Stat. 17-A, 201(1)(B), holding that the State presented sufficient evidence such that the fact-finder could have found each element proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
Specifically, the Supreme Judicial Court held (1) the trial court did not err in finding Defendant guilty of murder because the State presented sufficient evidence to support the fact-finder's determination that the State had proved each element beyond a reasonable doubt; and (2) the trial court did not err or abuse its discretion when it limited Defendant's cross-examination of the State's Chief Medical Examiner.
