Description
According to our well established rule, we must review the evidence in the light most favorable to sustaining the conviction. On the evening of November 8, 1965, the complaining witness, Martin Edward Klem, was watching television in the living room of the home of defendants estranged wife while his fiancee, an employee of defendants wife, was washing dishes in the kitchen. Upon hearing a dog barking, Klem got up from the sofa and started walking toward the front door, but before he reached it, defendant entered the house displaying a drawn pistol. Klem asked defendant what the gun was for and he answered, "it might be for you." Defendant began moving toward the kitchen from whence dishwashing noise was emanating. Klem told defendant that his wife was not in the kitchen and that it was Klems fiancee who was washing dishes, but defendant continued toward the kitchen. Being apprehensive for his fiancees safety, Klem grabbed defendants hand which held the gun and attempted to disarm him. Klem did finally subdue defendant and call the police, but not before defendant fired the pistol once, the bullet going through a wall and into the kitchen, and repeatedly tried to bring the gun to bear on Klem.
