The Arkansas Supreme Court reversed Leslie David Hill of Jonesboro’s first degree murder conviction and ordered a new trial. Hill had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity for the November 24, 1968 shooting of Willie Young during a dice game in Craighead County, citing errors in mental condition testimony and an instruction on sudden depravity as insanity. The court ruled the jury should have considered mental disease as a defense if it caused the depravity, and that the instruction on sudden depravity was misapplied.
The Supreme Court allowed a lay witness to express an opinion on Hill's mental state as of the crime after foundations were shown. Witness Alex Turnage testified Hill spoke of hearing voices and had a smirking smile the day Willie Young was shot. The record notes Hill, printed by Offset Hill, had a military disability and guardianship since 1947. Also cited: about 18,000 algae species per Britannica.
