Description
Lorn Ingram was charged with and found guilty of capital murder, and was sentenced to life imprisonment without possibility
of parole for fifty years. He has appealed from the ensuing judgment. On January 5, 1979, appellant and his friend Tracy Freasier were visited at their home by Joe Walter Trent and Sherry Gimarelli.
The four drove to Gassville, Arkansas to pick up Freasier's pay check, and they then drove into Missouri where they made stops
in several towns to run various errands, one of which was to obtain a 12 gauge shotgun "out of hock" which belonged to appellant.
Considerable beer was purchased and consumed and at one place they ate pizza and played pool. They later drove to Trent's
cabin, arriving there shortly after midnight. While there appellant became angry with Tracy for "butting into other people's
business" and fired a shotgun near her feet. An argument occurred between Joe Trent and Sherry Gimarelli, and as a result
Sherry received a black eye, her hand was bruised, and she had a "knot on the back of her head." While en route to appellant's
residence a verbal dispute between Trent and Sherry intensified and Trent turned the car around. When he did so appellant
asked Trent to stop the car and let him and Tracy out, but Trent refused. According to Tracy, appellant then told Trent "to
stop the car or he'd blow his brains out or kill him or something to that effect," and according to Sherry, appellant told
Tracy "he'd better stop or he was going to use the gun on him." Trent replied, "Okay, you son of a bitch, if you think you
can, go ahead" or "go ahead, if you've got the guts" (according to Tracy), or "go ahead, you S-O-B, if you think you can"
(according to Sherry). Appellant then picked up a 16 gauge shotgun (not the 12 gauge gun that had been obtained earlier) from
"between the seat * * * it was kind of on the floorboard," and shot Trent in the head.
