CASE STUDY: 123.01:
ARGUMENT MURDER
Background
On a hot July
night in 1989, the police of a small East Coast city received a “shots fired” call.
As they arrived at the scene of the incident, they observed a young white male
sprawled out in the middle of the street. He had been shot in the chest and was
dead. The officers learned from several witnesses that the victim had started
arguing with another man over some money the offender owed the victim. The
dispute soon escalated, with the victim punching the offender. The fight spilled
out into the street and culminated with the offender pulling a gun out and
shooting the victim.
