The Supreme Court granted leave to appeal regarding whether the defendant's negligent shooting, which killed a third party, constituted the crime of intentional homicide.

The court decided to allow the appeal to determine if the specific circumstances of the mistaken identity and negligence negate the requisite intent for homicide.
