“grabbed me by the sweatshirt, and he just literally pulled me out of my chair so hard that I was off my feet, but he slammed his fist into my jaw, which loosened my lower plate and ended up cutting my gum pretty bad. He said I ought to fuck you up, I could kill you, and he just hurled me backwards in the chair, chair went over, I slammed into the wall.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Watkins“Watkins stated that when [Malone] got a couple of feet away from Watkins, [Malone] grabbed for Watkins' gun arm and Watkins let his instincts go and every thing happened so fast, he just heard a boom and saw [Malone] go down. Watkins stated that he did not intentionally shoot [Malone], it just went off by instincts.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Watkins“We cannot conclude ... as a matter of law, that a person, fearing further attack, who arms himself with a loaded gun, points it at the aggressor, warns him to stay away, and calls for help has precluded the invocation of an accident defense to a shooting that occurs when the aggressor struggles for the gun.”
