Ten Years For Slayer Woman Cause Of Shooting
George Lindsay, Cabell Coleman, and J Cabell Farolty of Virginia faced murder charges after Lindsay shot Coleman while defending a woman resisting entry to a house. Coleman, who had one arm, lunged at the woman as Lindsay warned both men to back off and then fired, fatally wounding Coleman. Lindsay claimed no prior acquaintance with Coleman and said Coleman came at him with a weapon. The victim had lost an arm in a wreck years earlier. Lindsay fled, was captured, and sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary after a brief jury deliberation.
