    Noting victim incapable of effectively making attack on defendant and of resisting defendant's attack tended to show premeditated purpose to take victim's life

    " In State v. Deane, 75 Idaho 149, 268 P.2d 1114, 1116, this court said: "Appellant further contends the court erred in giving Instructions No. 17 and No. 18 on circumstantial evidence.

  2. Bartlett v. State

    569 P.2d 1235 (Wyo. 1977)   Cited 17 times
    In Bartlett v. State, Wyo., 569 P.2d 1235 (1977), we held that the vehicular homicide statute had impliedly repealed the "unlawful act" portion of the manslaughter statute, at least to the extent that an act "malum prohibita" was involved.

    State v. McIver, 175 N.C. 761, 94 S.E. 682 (1917), is cited in People v. Mitchell, supra, and reaches the same result. Other similar cases are State v. Deane, 75 Idaho 149, 268 P.2d 1114 (1954); State v. Salhus, 68 Idaho 75, 189 P.2d 372 (1948); and Schluter v. State, 153 Neb. 317, 44 N.W.2d 588 (1950). Without considering some of these cases, and ignoring the commitment to the rule expressed in People v. Mitchell, supra, by this Court in State v. Cantrell, supra, the majority opinion assumes that in Wyoming in the instance of a charge of involuntary manslaughter in which the unlawful act relied upon is a speeding violation, a showing that the act was done in a criminally negligent manner is required.
