Ricky Doyle Gray being ‘a mean SOB when he was drinking’?” Mr. Fletcher asked.

“No,” he replied.

“Have you ever been convicted of a felony?” Mr. Fletcher asked.

“Yes,” Mr. Knott admitted. “Lying under oath.”

Trooper Baines testified that he was notified of the shooting by the Rappahannock County dispatch center at 5:35, and arrived on the scene about 10 minutes later. He and Deputy Bruce Hitt walked about 100 yards into the woods to the body, directed by Mr. Price.

“It was fairly dark ... the body was still warm, I checked for signs of life and found none.”

He said that he took a statement from Mr. Selvage about 7 p.m., and advised him of his Miranda rights at 8:10 p.m.

“He told me,” Trooper Baines said, reading from his note pad, “that he and Mr. Price were standing on the trail talking. Mr. Price said that he heard a deer* and ‘You go right —I’ll go left.’ He said that he saw a deer and shot at it; that he was reasonably sure that he hit it, that he tried to hit it in the neck.”

Trooper Baines said that Mr. Selvage told him that when he went up the mountain, he didn’t find the deer where he thought it should have fallen, “but that he saw something further up the hill that didn’t look right.” Mr. Selvage told Trooper Baines that he yelled to Mr. Price, saying that he had found a man and he thought he had had a heart attack.

Trooper Baines added that Mr. Selvage was very sure that he had a deer in his scope. He said that he was not sure if it was a buck or a doe — that he didn’t look for horns. He said that Mr. Selvage also told him that he had been hunting for more than 40 years and had never had an accident.
