Eastman Admits Rim Fire Revolver Killed Grogan
In a dramatic court session Eastman testified he planned to fire two cartridges from an old rim fire revolver on the Fourth of July but a warning from his wife stopped the second shot. He described the moments when Grogan aimed at the target and Eastman stepped back, triggering the fatal discharge. Eastman claimed he held back the hammer and could not recall why he grabbed Grogan’s empty pistol and then the single loaded 44 Colt. He maintained no conscious memory of shooting Grogan, despite the deadly outcome.
