Description
The issue is the standard of conduct required for a violation of Penal Code section 273a, subdivision (1), which proscribes "wilfully" causing or permitting a child to be placed in a situation likely to produce great bodily harm or death. We hold that the standard of conduct condemned by the statute is that of criminal negligence and that the trial court's failure to so instruct the jury compels a reversal.
