““Several witnesses testified that the victim did not attempt to run over the defendant with his car, but had stopped in front of defendant’s apartment at the time he was shot. Several witnesses also testified that they did not hear the victim threaten the defendant prior to the shooting. The defendant shot the victim five times. After that first shot, defendant could have withdrawn and called the police. Instead, defendant moved to the driver’s window of the victim’s car and shot the victim four more times. The victim never got Lout of his car. Even if defendant had fired his first shot in self-defense, his subsequent shooting of the victim was unjustified and not necessary as defendant clearly was no longer in imminent danger of suffering death or great bodily harm. From this evidence the jury could find that the State had met its burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not act in self-defense. Applying the Jackson standard of appellate review to the sufficiency of the evidence we find that the jury was justified in rejecting defendant’s claim of self-defense.””
