Take Care When Using Guns At A Drugged Out Sex Orgy
BRUCE Lavallee-Davidson, an organic farmer from Skowhegan, is in a Portland, Oregon court, telling one and all about a deadly orgy at his home dungeon. Three men – James Pombriant, Fred Wilson and the accused – had been puffing weed, snorting gas, drinking and shagging for around 12 hours.
A .44-caliber Rossi revolver is introduced. Lavallee-Davidson nips to the loo.
When Lavallee-Davidson returned, Wilson asked him to put the gun to his head and pull the trigger to intensify his pleasure, the defense contends. On the first try, there was a click when Lavallee-Davidson pulled the trigger. Wilson asked him to do it again, and there was a flash, the defense says.
A shot.
Says Lavalle-Davidson: “I think I killed him.”
After the shooting, Pombriant, of Auburn, and Lavallee-Davidson left Wilson’s body behind in the home over the course of the day before Pombriant called police that night. Police recovered the handgun used in the killing and a .12-gauge Mossberg shotgun that Lavallee-Davidson had taken to Wilson’s home for the sex games.
Can we make a judgement?
Deputy Attorney General Bill Stokes doesn’t dispute that the killing was unintended. Nonetheless, he said, the circumstances fit the legal definition of manslaughter, which means to cause death through recklessness or criminal negligence. Manslaughter carries a penalty of up 30 years in prison.
Says the prosecutor:
“You never point a loaded gun at someone’s head. You don’t point a gun and pull the trigger unless you’re 100 percent sure.”
Yeah, when off your face in a drug-fuelled orgy, safety is paramount…
