Mr. Leake’s attorney, Roy Bradley, said that his client was a young man out on a Saturday night looking for a good time, and that a group of young men from elsewhere had come along and picked a fight.
Charles Carlson of Sperryville, who was in the Kennedy vehicle, testified that Mr. Leake had pulled a gun on him, after they had “gotten into it,” though he could not identify the vehicle the shot had come from when they were driving down the hill. Others testified that they had seen the defendant fire the rifle in the parking lot at the firehall.
The defense did not put on any evidence for Mr. Leake, and he did not testify.
The jury was told early in the trial that Mr. Leake had previously been convicted of two felonies, but they were not told until it was time to sen-1 tence him what he had been convicted of. He was convicted in February, 1993 of grand larceny and breaking into an automobile, and in September, 1993 of grand larceny and destruction of private property.
Mr. Luke asked the jury to sen-v tence Mr. Leake not only to punish ^ him because of the deadly nature of his offenses, but also as a deterrent.
Mr. Leake could have received a total sentence up to 28 years and fines up to $105,000, according to the sentencing range for the four felonies.
