Description
On January 11, 1960, Warren G. Shockley walked into the Phoenix Hotel in Lexington where he shot and killed Warren F. Wagner, an employee of the hotel. Shockley was indicted for murder. At his trial on this charge, one of his defenses was that he was of unsound mind and without sufficient reason to know right from wrong, or that as a result of mental unsoundness he had not had sufficient will power to govern his action because of some insane impulse which he could not resist or control. The court instructed on the charge of murder, mental capacity to commit the crime and voluntary manslaughter. The jury found him guilty of voluntary manslaughter and fixed his punishment at ten years confinement. Shockley had contended during the trial that Wagner had been associating with his wife for a period of about seven months despite the fact that he had warned him on several occasions to discontinue seeing her.
