Description

LIVINGSTON, Chief Justice. The appellant, Roosevelt Howard, alias 'Pee Wee' Howard, was indicted, tried and convicted in the
Circuit Court of Butler County, Alabama, for killing Vandiver Lazenby by shooting him in the back with a .22 caliber rifle.
His punishment was fixed at death by electrocution. The appeal comes here under the Automatic Appeal Statute, Sec. 382(1),
Title 15, Code of Alabama 1940, Cumulative Pocket Part. There was a motion for a new trial which was overruled. No good purpose would be served by setting out all the evidence in detail. Lazenby was killed on January 9, 1960, between
the hours of 2:00 and 3:00 p. m. He was shot in the back. Lazenby owned and operated a store in Butler County. At the north
end of the store, he had a small office. There was a window on the north side of the office. Lazenby was shot through this
window as he sat at his desk working on his books with his back to the window. The bullet passed through the screen on the
outside of the window and through a pane in the window, striking Lazenby just under the left shoulder blade, passing through
his lung, and lodged near his collar bone.
