State v. Owens

Syllabus

Ahshaad Owens shot and killed Jarrod Howard during a drug deal. Owens claimed he shot Howard by accident, but the jury convicted him of murder. Owens claims the trial court erred in charging the jury that unlawful activity on his part could foreclose his accident defense. The court of appeals found no error in the charge, and affirmed. We affirm the court of appeals as modified.
