Crime
Approximately one hour after leaving the Belks' home, defendant
returned. Semantha, who was there waiting for defendant to drop off
the children, ran outside when she heard defendant blow his horn. Mr.
Belk, who had seen defendant drive down the street, was outside talking
with his neighbor James Fitcher. Several minutes later, Mr. Belk heard
someone yell, “Todd's got Sandy, dragging Sandy out front, he's got a
gun.” Mr. Belk ran inside his home to find something with which to
defend himself. When he emerged, he saw that defendant was wielding a
shotgun while holding the crouching or kneeling Semantha by her hair.
Defendant told Semantha, “Hold still, b_. I'm going to kill you,” while
she pleaded with defendant to let her go. When Mr. Belk told
defendant not to hurt his daughter, defendant became distracted and
Semantha was able to break free and run. Defendant chased her and shot
her in the back. He then reloaded his shotgun and, as the wounded
Semantha lay on the ground begging for her life, flipped her over with
his foot; said, “ Hold still, b_”; and shot her again. Defendant
reloaded; aimed his shotgun at Mr. Belk; said, “You're next, old man”;
and shot Mr. Belk in the shoulder. Defendant next aimed at Mrs.
Belk, who was standing on her front porch. Although defendant
apparently pulled the trigger, his weapon failed to fire. Defendant
threw the shotgun in the back of his truck; said, “Now I can go to
jail”; then sped away, scattering gravel. Several neighbors,
including James Fitcher, Kimberly Fitcher, Brenda Cagle, Bobbie Auten,
and Gloria Jenkins, witnessed the shootings and corroborated the
testimony of Mr. and Mrs. Belk.
