Norris Maurice Glover was convicted of murder in the shooting death of Carolyn Whitfield and appeals from the denial of his motion for new trial.1 1. The jury was authorized to find that Glover shot the victim multiple times using a handgun he took from his employer’s truck. He then fled the scene in the victim’s car and two days later went to the home of his uncle, who called the police. Glover confessed to the officer who responded to the call that he shot and killed his girlfriend. Expert testing of blood on one of Glover’s shoes established that it matched the victim’s DNA.

At trial Glover testified that he took the handgun because the victim had complained about an intruder near her home; that when he visited the victim he found her in a state of partial undress with another man; the man attacked Glover with a baseball bat; Glover then retrieved the gun but lost control of it in the ensuing struggle; the man fired at Glover, who used the victim as a shield so that the bullets struck the victim; and when the man fled, Glover followed in the victim’s car until another vehicle arrived in support of the shooter, at which time he broke off his pursuit. On cross-examination Glover could not explain how two days after the baseball attack he lacked any visible sign of injury or how a bullet that passed through the victim’s body had not injured him.
