Prosecution failed to prove murder (s.302) beyond reasonable doubt because credible evidence showed multiple assailants, contemporaneous statements and the defendant's sworn testimony raised reasonable doubt as to sole responsibility and specific intent to kill; medical evidence established cause of death (severe lung injury from rib fractures) but did not prove defendant knew of victim's fragile health or had intent to kill; accordingly charge amended to s.304(b) and defendant convicted under that provision.
