Choisnet v. Georgia

Appellant Fredrick Choisnet, Jr. was indicted and tried for murder and related charges in connection with the stabbing death of his elderly father. Appellant pled not guilty by reason of insanity as he was under the delusion that his father was planning to kill him and his mother. The jury found Choisnet guilty but mentally ill, and Choisnet appealed, contending that the trial court's instructions to the jury were erroneous in several ways. Finding no error, the Supreme Court affirmed. View "Choisnet v. Georgia" on Justia Law
