Description
It is uncontradicted that Edward "Pappy" Bruce, a 76-year-old resident of Kitsap County, shot Kenneth James in the lower abdomen with a .30-caliber rifle shortly after midnight on February 8, 1976. Bruce was charged with first-degree assault, RCW 9.11.010, and violation of the uniform firearms act, RCW 9.41.025. At trial, defendant Bruce testified that he shot James because he thought James was trying to attack him. The jury was instructed on the defense of self-defense, as well as the lesser-included offense of second-degree assault. RCW 9.11.020(3), (4). The jury found defendant not guilty of first-degree assault, but guilty of second-degree assault, and returned a special finding that at the time the assault was committed defendant was armed with or in possession of a firearm. This latter finding resulted in the imposition of a 10-year prison sentence, with a 5-year mandatory minimum.
