Description
The record reflects that on September 7, 1969, appellant shot and killed Hollie Shelton Young, in the presence of several eye witnesses. The shooting occurred outside the residence of Monroe and Doris Combs. Appellant testified that earlier that same day, the deceased, Hollie Shelton Young, had inflicted a severe beating on him. At the confrontation at the Combs residence, the deceased was partially facing one of the other persons present, Kenneth Wood, when appellant, about 5 to 7 feet away, raised his gun and "shot the back of Hollie Youngs head off." Appellant testified that the deceased kept moving closer toward him, and he fired his gun, without aiming, because Hollie Young (deceased) suddenly reached in his right pocket, thereby putting appellant in fear for his life.
