Court reverses woman's murder conviction over legal technicality
Mount Vernon appellate court overturns Donna Duncan's first degree murder conviction citing People v. Pelt and the rule that a forcible felony such as aggravated battery of a child cannot support a murder conviction when tied to the act. Judge Trambley notes evidence supported all charges but calls the reversal a faulty technicality. The ruling leaves implications for child abuse prosecutions and felony murder standards.
