Description
The defendant (appellant) Nicolas Rodriguez, Jr., was convicted of both murder in the first degree and assault with a deadly
weapon with intent to commit murder and sentenced to life imprisonment on the murder charge and to five years imprisonment
on the assault charge with the two sentences running concurrently. Appellant's motions for a mistrial and for a new trial
were denied and the appellant has appealed to the Supreme Court from the judgment of conviction and the denial of his motions. The evidence reveals that a quarrel was about to take place between the appellant and Andres Garza Cantu, the deceased victim's
brother. However there is a conflict in the testimony with respect to whether the appellant challenged Cantu or Cantu challenged
the appellant. For the purpose of preparing to fight fairly against Andres Cantu, the appellant gave his gun, which he kept
to protect himself from death threats made by his wife's cousins, to his brother-in-law, Lopez. Lopez then handed the gun
to one Thain Watson, a barber who had momentarily entered the barroom from his adjoining shop when he heard a fracus erupt
in the barroom. Watson then placed the gun in a drawer located in his barber shop.
