This is a hypthetical. A man assaults a woman, but she does not die immediately. Sometime later, she does die of injuries she sustained in the assault. Is the man guilty of murder or at least of manslaughter?

At least manslaughter, probably murder.

This is a hypthetical.
Given the latest news around the forum, I somehow doubt this.Comment

all we have here is the guy and gal got in fight. she died later of those wounds. Da needs to prove he meant to hurt her and then prove it was intentionalWhen you find yourself arguing with an idiot, you might want to rethink who the idiot really is.

Define "sometime later".
If it is sortly after, it is murder.
Did she die solely of injuries sustained in the battery or was it something else?
Basically, if she died of injuries related to the assault, even if its been a year or so, it STILL is murder.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Oh, and I think we all know Ned's intentions here, silly as they are.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

The delay is irrelevant. If the attack was premeditated its murder. If it was a heat of passion thing its manslaugter-- whether seh dies immediately or 6 months laterYou don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto LuongoComment

Flubber, the delay isn't TOTALLY irrelevent. Old England law had a rule where if the person died after a year and a day of the incident, the proximate cause wasn't satisfied. Most jurisdictions have done away with the rule, but some states have a restriction (Washington state has a three years and a day rule).“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

When I worked for the DA's office in New York back in the 80's, that case would definitely been prosecuted as a murder."I have as much authority as the pope. I just don't have as many people who believe it." — George CarlinComment
