State v. Anderson
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
State v. Anderson, 2 Tenn. 6 (1804), was a case decided by the Tennessee Supreme Court that held that the intent to kill necessary to distinguish murder from manslaughter need only to be formed a moment before the act.[1]
Subsequent history
Anderson was decided before murder was separated by statute into first and second degrees, but the timing analysis was affirmed in the 1859 opinion Lewis v. State.[2]
