TX: Jury Finds Man Not Guilty Of Murder: "A Smith County jury found David Allen McBride not guilty of murder, believing his claim that he shot a man nine times in self defense. McBride, 36, was acquitted of murdering George "Rusty" Edward Hill, 40, just before midnight on May 25, 2007. McBride said that for months Hill had been calling Shannon Hill, his ex-wife, who was living with McBride. He said Hill also threatened him, saying he was going to “beat you till you couldn’t breathe.” McBride said he awoke that night to banging and found Hill in his living room demanding to know where Shannon Hill was. McBride told him to get out. On the porch, the two exchanged words and Hill threw a wrench at him, he said. When Hill pushed the door open, McBride said he retrieved his .22-caliber rifle from his bedroom and turned to see Hill holding a wrench “like he was about to hit me.” McBride said he pointed the gun at Hill and that Hill walked out to the porch and flung a wrench toward him. McBride fired a “warning shot” to get Hill to leave, he said. McBride said he then set the gun down and then Hill picked up a large grass-cutting tool and swung it at him. As McBride picked up his gun again, he said he saw something flash over his head and heard a bang. He said he later learned Hill threw the tool at him and it had lodged in the house. McBride then began firing at Hill, he said."
