PEOPLE V. WOOD
230 P.3d 1223 (2009)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Wood (D) appealed a conviction of manslaughter.
FACTS: The victim and his girlfriend approached D and offered to sell him
methamphetamine. D invited the two back to his apartment for the sale. D discovered that the
drugs were fake. He then shot and killed the victim. D was arrested and charged with first
degree murder. D sought an order of dismissal under the immunity provision of the
'make-my-day' statute. The court denied his request. D asserted both the make-my-day defense
and self-defense. The jury rejected those defenses and convicted D of manslaughter. D
appealed.
