No. 89-KA-1400.

585 So.2d 655 (1991)

STATE of Louisiana v. James R. TAYLOR, Jr.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fourth Circuit.

August 29, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Harry F. Connick, Dist. Atty., Val M. Solino, Asst. Dist. Atty., New Orleans, for the State of La.

Dwight Doskey, Orleans Indigent Defender Program, New Orleans, for James R. Taylor, Jr.

Before SCHOTT, C.J., and LOBRANO and WARD, JJ.


WARD, Judge.

James Taylor was charged by the State with committing negligent homicide. Taylor entered a plea of not guilty and elected trial by jury. A jury of six found Taylor guilty as charged. Taylor now appeals that verdict.

He first argues he was denied due process because the jury verdict is not supported by sufficient evidence. Second, he argues that the trial court incorrectly instructed the jury when defining reasonable doubt.

We reject Taylor...
