Did Mahaffy Fire the Shot That Killed Green
Jurors in Pendleton consider the death of Melvin Green a gunshot case. They find Green died from two wounds one in the head and one in the left side. They assign the left side wound to Sam Mahaffy and note conflicting evidence about the head wound. The autopsy described a fatal head wound and powder burns on the scalp. Witnesses recount a confrontation at Green’s house and a chase after Mahaffy. They report Mahaffy returned home then allegedly killed Green before others arrived.
