HENDERSON v. THE STATE.

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

Decided February 22, 1980.

Rehearing Denied March 11, 1980.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Hugh Q. Wallace, for appellant.

W. Donald Thompson, District Attorney, Thomas J. Matthews, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.


DEEN, Chief Judge.

The manner in which Roy Mathews ejected a drunken woman from his bar and grill apparently offended the defendant's uncle and an argument between the two men ensued. The defendant intervened by grabbing a pistol from a holster on Mathews' hip. Shots rang out, Mathews was hit three times by bullets and he died shortly thereafter. Leroy Henderson brings this appeal from his conviction by a jury of voluntary manslaughter.
