New York Court of Appeals July 11, 2014, No. 135 (The People v. Jose Maldonado)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Rivera, J.

In this appeal, we conclude that the evidence was legally insufficient to support defendant’s conviction for depraved indifference murder because the circumstances of this high-speed *50vehicular police chase do not fit within the narrow category of cases wherein the facts evince a defendant’s utter disregard for human life.
