Publisher Description
Charles Michael Bius appeals his conviction of second-degree murder. Bius was the only eyewitness to the events leading to the death of Wallace Carmichael. His version of the facts is as follows: The two previously unacquainted men met in a bar, and Carmichael invited Bius to his house. They drank heavily for some time, and Carmichael eventually made homosexual advances toward Bius. Bius rejected these advances, and Carmichael approached Bius with a knife. Bius took the knife from Carmichael, Carmichael hit Bius twice with his fist, and Bius "felt the knife go in" to Carmichael. Bius denied deliberately stabbing Carmichael, and stated that Carmichael "must have run into the knife."
