STATE V. TERROVONA
716 P.2d 295 (1986)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal from a conviction of first-degree murder.
FACTS: Gene Patton, the decedent, received a phone call at his home. He told his
girlfriend that the phone call was from Terrovona (D) and that apparently D had run out of
gas and wanted his assistance. The decedent also said that he must be crazy to help but left
to do so anyway. Less than 15 minutes later a passerby found Patton's body alongside a car
near where D said he had run out of gas. Patton had been severely beaten and shot. During
trial, the trial court admitted this evidence. D was convicted and appealed.
