Prosecutors: Man Shot 45 Times by Best Friend Lived Through First 32 Shots
Friday, November 14, 2008

JEFFERSON, N.C. — Prosecutors say a man shot by his best friend 45 times lived through the first 32 shots.

They highlighted the findings of pathologists at Freddie McDowell Jr.'s murder trial Thursday after defense testimony claimed the 24-year-old man suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, The Winston-Salem Journal reported.

Authorities say McDowell killed 19-year-old Drew Howell at a mountain home in Wilkes County, N.C., in June 2006.

McDowell's attorney says he acted in self-defense and was abused as a child.

But prosecutors showed photos of Howell, who was shot in the eyes, groin and chest with a .38-caliber revolver, and pointed out that McDowell cleaned the cabin before police arrived.

Prosecutors are expected to give their closing arguments Friday.

If that's what the guy's 'best friend' does to him, I'd hate to find out what an enemy of his might do.

Best friend only shot him 45 times in self defense? But he was abused as a child so I guess that makes it OK, but then he was able to clean the cabin before the cops got there, so he did learn something as a child. Too bad they didn't call me for jury duty-would have been a short recess.:D
