Description
A jury convicted Sharon Pointer of voluntary manslaughter,[Footnote 1] battery,[Footnote 2] and resisting law enforcement.[Footnote 3] At trial it was undisputed that the victim, George Knox, died from a stab wound inflicted by Pointer. The trial issues relevant to this appeal were whether Pointers conduct was excusable as an act of self-defense, and if not, whether her state of mind supported a conviction for murder, or voluntary manslaughter, or involuntary manslaughter. The appeal contends the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction for voluntary manslaughter, and insufficient to negate self-defense.
