The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. William Heide, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division order, holding that criminally negligent homicide is a lesser‑included offense of second‑degree manslaughter and that the defendant was entitled to that charge, and that the prosecutor’s alleged prejudicial remarks were not preserved for review because the trial judge’s curative instructions cured any error.
