Facts
Letner (D) shot at a boat on the water. D's half-brother and Walter and Alfred Johnson were in the boat. Walter jumped into the water after the second shot. The boat capsized, and Walter and Alfred were drowned. The jury was instructed that if they found that D fired at the water in sport, with no intention of hitting those in the boat, and that as a result they jumped out of the boat and drowned. D was guilty of involuntary manslaughter. D was convicted of involuntary manslaughter. D appealed the conviction for Albert's death; the shooting was not the immediate cause of death; the capsizing was to blame.
