Carver and his 26-year-old daughter, Betty, testified that the three had been drinking prior to the time of the shooting. Tolley was a visitor at the Carver home, having spent the previous night there. The defendant's daughter declared that Tolley and her father had been "good friends," and that the shooting was the result of an accident. She stated that her father had slipped on the porch of their home and that the gun, which he had brought out "to shoot rabbits with" had gone off accidentally as Carver sought to keep his balance.
