Description
In these consolidated cases, we consider the appellant's claim that the term mental anguish, as included in the definition of personal injury in the criminal sexual conduct (CSC) statute, MCL 750.520a(j); MSA 28.788(1)(j), 1 is unconstitutionally vague. 2 In addition, both cases present the question whether there was sufficient evidence of mental anguish produced at trial to support defendants' first-degree CSC convictions. Petrella presents an issue regarding the Criminal Jury Instruction defining mental anguish, CJI 20:2:11(5), and in Simpson there is a question whether the spousal privilege statute, MCL 600.2162; MSA 27A.2162, which contains an exception for a prosecution for a crime committed against either or both spouses' child, should be limited to minor children.
