Wasylina v. State

The evidence was legally sufficient to support the defendant's conviction for criminally negligent homicide where the evidence showed only that he acted recklessly. Proving the greater culpable mental state of recklessness necessarily proves the lesser culpable mental state of criminal negligence. The submission of a lesser-included offense does not violate the defendant's constitutional due-process right to notice of the crime of which he is accused. Wasylina v. State - PD-0519-07
