P. v. Swihart
On the morning of March 15, 2015, defendant saw the homicide victim, Cass Edison, walking down the street; he offered her a ride. She told defendant that if he bought her a bottle of vodka, she would have sex with him. Defendant bought the vodka and took Edison to his trailer where they engaged in sexual intercourse and drank the entire bottle of vodka.
Edison then offered to have anal sex with defendant if he bought a second bottle of vodka. Defendant procured a second bottle, then he had anal sex with Edison, which caused her to “defecate all over the trailer.” This “caused the defendant to ‘snap.’ ” Defendant grabbed Edison and dragged her through the trailer, banging her head “against everything in the trailer that he could.”
