Jerry
Baldwin was 30 years old. He was the manager of a pizza restaurant. He
lived in an apartment about one mile north of the restaurant. He walked
to and from work. When it was raining, he took the bus.
Jerry loved gangster movies. When a new one came out, he would go to the
theater and watch the new movie three or four times. Then, when it went
to video, Jerry would buy the video at Barney’s Video Store. Jerry had a
home collection of over 1,000 gangster videos. Old ones, new ones,
color, black and white, English, Spanish, Japanese--he loved them all.
He could tell you the name of the movie, the director, the stars, and
the plot. Did you say you liked “Pulp Fiction”? Well, Jerry would rattle
off all the details of that movie. And then he would invite you to his
place to watch it some time. He was a nice guy.
Jerry finally decided that he would like to own a gun, just like the
gangsters. So he saved his money for a couple of years. Then he went to a
gun store and bought a used .38 caliber revolver for 0. While there, he
also bought a couple of boxes of ammunition. The following Saturday
morning, he went to the gun club to practice with his new revolver. He
was in the club for only 10 minutes when he accidentally dropped his
pistol. The gun went off, and the bullet went into Jerry’s right knee
