Selvage said he asked him what he thought was wrong. Mr. Knott replied that it wasn’t a heart attack — he was only 28. Mr. Knott added, Mr. Selvage said, “I’ll tell you this, he was one mean SOB.”
“What do you mean?” Mr. Selvage said he asked.
“When he was drinking,” he said Mr. Knott answered.
“When did you say you shot that man?” Mr. Fletcher asked.
“I made the statement, ‘Don’t tell me I shot that man’,” Mr. Selvage replied, “when one of. the rescue squad members found the bullet wound.”
Before that, he insisted, he thought the man had a heart attack, adding that one of the police officers at the scene had said the same thing.
Mr. Luke asked Mr. Selvage, on cross-examination, “Why did you think you shot the man?”
“Mr. Luke,” he replied, “when you shoot in an area it could cause a gunshot wound in a body. Certainly, I shot at a deer in the same area — off to the right from the body — not in the same direction.”
Mr. Luke also pursued the alleged discrepancy between the two pine trees pointed out to Warden Bankston on the night of the shooting and the next day.
Mr. Selvage said as he sighted through the scope, with the crosshairs on the deer, a pine tree next to a blazed oak was in the left quadrant of the scope. “Warden Bankston could have been mistaken — he got there after dark.”
“How far will that bullet travel?” Mr. Luke asked.
“About four miles.”
“So you must know what is on the other side?”
“Not this time,” Mr. Selvage replied. “I was shooting into the mountain.”
