The opinion
DREW, J.,
concurring.
|,I write to concur with the result reached by the majority opinion, further writing here to note that since the jury apparently found the defendant an untruthful witness, and since the jury rejected defendant’s claim of self-defense and other outlandish testimony, and since the jury found that defendant shot the victim in the back at close range with a sawed-off shotgun, while lacking lawful provocation, then there is no realistic chance that the confusing “intent” arguments and instructions made any difference whatsoever in the guilty verdict. Any reasonable juror would conclude that the defendant had the specific intent to kill when he pulled the trigger of the shotgun at close range and said: “You’re going to die.” In other words, the verdict was surely unattributable to any trial error.
