People v. Larry Gould

NO. 111291. COA No. 184342.

Supreme Court of Michigan

March 09, 1999

Prior Report: 225 Mich.App. 79, 570 N.W.2d 140.

Disposition: Leave to appeal DENIED. In light of the first-out rule set forth in Administrative Order 1994-4, 445 Mich. xci (1994), we observe that the statement by the Court of Appeals that first-degree child abuse is a specific-intent crime is dictum, in light of the panel's conclusion that, even under that standard, the circuit court did not err in denying the defendant's motion for directed verdict.

CAVANAGH and KELLY, JJ., would simply deny leave to appeal.
