State v. Gary
Connecticut Supreme Court
869 A.2d 1236 (2005)
- Written by Sarah Holley, JD
Facts
Steven Gary (defendant) was involved in an altercation with Jemar Sanders in which Sanders punched Gary in the face. In response, Gary turned to face Sanders and fired a loaded pistol, but the bullet struck and killed Efraim Gilliard. Gary was convicted of intentional murder under a theory of transferred intent or, more specifically, that Gary intended to kill Sanders and, acting with that intent, killed Gilliard instead. Gary appealed his conviction on grounds that there was insufficient evidence of his intent to kill Sanders.
