THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. LOUIS J. HICKS, Appellant.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Third Department.

July 14, 2005.


Mugglin, J.

Defendant's convictions result from his having sold $10 worth of crack cocaine, on credit, to the victim. When defendant confronted the victim for payment, an argument ensued and defendant, using a sawed-off shotgun, at point-blank range, shot the victim in the face. At the hospital, the victim's family asked for a "Do Not Resuscitate" order and elected to forego the use of antibiotics. The victim died 13 days later from bronchopneumonia.
