Description
MATTHEWS, Justice. James Adkinson was charged in a two-count indictment with the offenses of manslaughter under AS 11.15.040 and negligent homicide under AS 11.15.080. Both charges arose from an incident which occurred on October 10, 1976, when Steven Butts, his brother, David, and a friend, Jim Leonard, were returning to their truck after an overnight camping trip along the Knik River. They had cut across Adkinsons land, and as they approached his cabin, Adkinson, armed with a shotgun, walked out to meet them. He told them that they were trespassing on his land, and that he wanted them to turn around. After a brief verbal exchange between Steven Butts and Adkinson, Adkinsons gun discharged, striking Butts at close range and killing him.
