Description
The evidence adduced at trial, including the appellants confession in which he admitted killing the deceased, showed that the deceased phoned the appellant on April 21, 1973 and requested that he and the appellant meet to discuss some earlier "trouble" between them. Shortly thereafter, the appellant drove to the deceaseds house and picked him up, and they drove several miles outside of Waco to a dirt road which was parallel to the North Bosque River. The appellant stopped his car on the road and he and the deceased shared a marihuana cigarette. They both then got out of the appellants car and began to walk together down the road in front of the car. During this walk, they got into an argument concerning whether the deceased had burglarized some unnamed persons house and thereby deprived the appellant of money owed him by such persons. The deceased denied committing the alleged burglary and, while reaching behind his back and turning sideways from facing the appellant, exclaimed, "God damn, God damn, thats not right." The appellant immediately shot the deceased two or three times in the chest with a pistol and, after determining that he was dead, dragged his body into thick bursh about forty feet from the dirt road. The appellant threw the pistol into the North Bosque River while leaving the scene, but, because of the muddy condition of the water, attempts by police to recover it failed.
