Description
This prosecution arises out of a thirty (30) hour siege, which began when defendant, heavily armed, pushed his way into an apartment. During the seige, defendant threatened to kill several of the occupants of the apartment as well as police officers outside. Defendant did ultimately shoot one police officer in the arm. The evidence established that defendant took possession of cash and jewelry while in the apartment. Defendant, testifying in his own behalf, contended that the entire affair was a ""mistake"", that one of the victims was a ""large-scale"" drug dealer who owed him money, and had attempted to have him killed, and that defendant came to the apartment only to ""straighten out"" the matter. When police arrived moments later, events ""got out of hand"". Defendant contended that he was very ""high"" by this point, but never intended to hurt anyone.
