Supreme Judicial Court of Maine August 21, 1987 (State v. Gammon)

NICHOLS, Justice.

The Defendant, Randall Gammon, appeals from a judgment of the Superior Court (Oxford County), affirming his conviction on three counts of manslaughter, 17-A M.R.S.A. § 203(1)(A) (1983), on April 25, 1986, in the District Court, Rumford. The Defendant’s major contention on appeal is that the District Court erred in finding the

mens rea

essential to a manslaughter conviction.
