Description
CROCKETT, Justice. Defendant appeals from a conviction of second degree murder. He asserts that there is not sufficient evidence
from which reasonable minds could find beyond a reasonable doubt either (1) that he had the intent necessary to constitute
second degree murder or (2) that any act on his part caused the death. With respect to his intent: It is the established law of this state that in order to make the crime of second degree murder
the defendant must have intended to either (a) kill, or (b) do great bodily harm, or (c) do an act which would naturally and
probably cause death or great bodily harm to the deceased. State v. Thompson, 110 Utah 113, 170 P.2d 153; State v. Trujillo,
Utah, 214 P.2d 626.
