Description
The defendant (appellant) was convicted upon two affidavits of Assault and Battery with Intent to Kill and sentenced to imprisonment
for not less than two or nor more than fourteen years upon each charge in a consolidated trial to the court. His motion to
correct errors presents two questions: (1) sufficiency of the evidence upon the issues of intent to kill and self defense
and (2) error at law, in that the trial Judge denied the defendant a continuance. 1. The evidence adduced at the trial, viewed most favorably to the State, disclosed that as the prosecuting witnesses, Hoskins
and Alexander, walked to their parked automobile in the parking lot of their place of employment, they were confronted by
the defendant, who was nearby with a shotgun resting upon the open door of his parked vehicle and aimed in their direction.
The witnesses turned and ran, and as they did so, the defendant fired the shotgun three times, striking and injuring both.
On previous occasions, the defendant had threatened to kill Alexander and had, once previously gone to the residence of Hoskins
with a shotgun and tried unsuccessfully to gain admittance.
