Description

The defendant was charged with the intentional murder of April Ernst, who disappeared sometime between September 7 and September 8, 1980. Her body has never been found. The only direct evidence implicating the defendant in her murder consisted of testimony by his brother, Gerard Curro, that the defendant had made certain admissions to him. According to Gerard, the defendant admitted that he had strangled Ernst because she was going to "rat [him] out". The defendant told his brother that he had cut her body into pieces in a bathtub, put the pieces in bags and then "took them for a ride". Another prosecution witness testified that the defendant told him in 1982 that he had shot his girlfriend because he believed that she was informing on him about his drug dealing, that he had disposed of her body in a garbage truck and that "there wasnt enough left of her for them to identify the body". On appeal, the defendant contends that the evidence was legally insufficient to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt as the People failed to provide any evidence, independent of his alleged statements, that Ernst had been murdered.
