Description
The state charged the defendant, John Wesley Warden, with the crime of assault with intent to murder for the alleged intentional shooting of Earl Huff with a handgun. The defendant was arrested in the late evening hours of October 24 or the early morning hours of October 25, 1976. At the preliminary hearing on November 3, 1976, the magistrate bound the defendant over to district court to stand trial for the crime charged. At the trial, the jury found the defendant guilty of the crime charged, and the Judge sentenced the defendant to the State Board of Correction for a term not to exceed 14 years. At trial the state based its case principally on the testimony of the victim, Earl Huff. It was his testimony that at approximately 11:15 p. m. on October 24, 1976, he in his capacity as a security officer for Wicks Corporation in Grangeville, Idaho observed a Dodge van parked on the company's property. From his patrol vehicle Huff noticed some movement in the back of the van. In order to determine if anyone was in the van, he shined the spotlight connected to his patrol vehicle into the van, got out of his vehicle and approached the windshield on the driver's side of the van. At that point he observed a man coming from the back of the van towards the front of the van with a gun in his hand. Within two or three seconds, despite Huff's effort to indicate that he was unarmed, the man shot Huff from inside the van, wounding him in the neck and knocking him to the ground. The man then got out of the van, walked over to where Huff was lying, looked at him, turned around, walked back to the van and drove off.
