WEEK 1 DISCUSSION FOR reference:
PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, Plaintiff
VS.
Scott Mayo, Defendant
TYPE OF CASE-Criminal
SUMMARY OF FACTS
Scott Mayo worked as a bartender at The Local Watering Hole. One night at work, Scott got into an argument with Basil Scowen. Mayo owed Scowen $1500.00. The argument heated up and, after Scowen picked up a beer bottle threateningly and appeared to be intoxicated, Mayo grabbed a pistol kept behind the bar and fired at Scowen, killing him. Mayo says Scowen told him, “I am going to kill you,” and what he believed was imminent danger from Scowen. Mayo was placed under arrest. He was not read his rights. He was transported to the local county jail. The prosecution witnesses are the police officer, who came to the scene and took statements from Mayo, and a frequent bar customer, Dawn Dietz, who witnessed some of what happened. The defense witnesses are the defendant, Mayo, and Joe, “the fireman”, who was outside and saw some of the action through the window while sitting on the patio.
STATEMENT OF JOE, “THE FIREMAN” (DEFENSE WITNESS)
I, Joe Fireman, state:
I live and work in Glenville. I was coming to the Hole to pick up Scott. He gets off at 2.am. We were going to go back to my place to shoot some pool, have a couple of beers and watch sports center on ESPN. When I parked my truck and went to get out I heard a man yelling coming from inside. I looked in the window and saw a man with a broken beer bottle in his hand and yelling at Scott. I had never seen this person before, but he was visibly angry.
When I went into the bar the man stated, “pay me or I will kill you”. I then saw Scott point a gun at the man and pulled the trigger. There was blood everywhere. A woman was bent down screaming, “he is dead”, “I am calling 911”. Scott was really shaken and scared. He was crying.
I have known Scott since grade school. He is not a murderer. He is just a drunk.
I have made this statement of true mind.

STATEMENT OF DAWN DIETZ (PROSECTUION WITNESS)
I Dawn Dietz, state:
My name is Dawn Dietz, I live at 5153 Hot Dog Lane, Glenville.
I am a book writer. I get writer’s block a lot and like to stop at the Local Watering Hole for a change of environment. I stopped at the Hole on my way home and had a few glasses of wine and watched the end of the basketball game. The bar was empty because the Mavericks were being blown out. The bar tender was drinking behind the bar. He was a bit of a jerk. He kept flipping the channel on the TV even though he knew I was watching the game. I complained about the TV. He called me a “red neck” and told me to be quiet. I was deeply insulted by that remark.
When the man walked in that was killed he sat down the other end of the bar. He appeared mad. I went to go to the bathroom before cashing out my tab and going home. As I walked out of the bathroom the bar tender had a gun pointed at the man, he was holding a beer bottle in his hand. The bar tender pointed the gun. The man stated, “I am going to wreck this place if you do not pay me”. The bar tender shot the man. I called 911. The police arrived.
This statement is true to the best of my memory.
