California Court of Appeal

Convictions for first degree murder of defendant's husband and premeditated attempted murders of her sons are affirmed over claims that the trial court committed reversible error in: 1) denying her requests to instruct the jury on misdemeanor manslaughter and unconsciousness; 2) failing to modify an instruction on evidence regarding mental disease or defect; and 3) excluding the testimony of a physician who treated her after the shootings.
