Task: Wrong Candidate Generation
Input (English): of course, knew that Rios had Patrolman Coggins’ gun, did you not? A. At the time, yes. Further testimony showed that when defendant was captured he was seen to drop the .357 magnum revolver and kick it away. This evidence tends to show defendant first acquired the revolver when he shot Trooper Coggins and had it with him when he was captured. Bray’s testimony provides direct evidence defendant had Coggins’ revolver at the time he entered Mrs. Gillespie’s house. Considering all the evidence, circumstantial and direct, we conclude there was sufficient evidence from which the trial judge could find by a preponderance of the evidence that defendant was armed with a deadly weapon at the time he broke into Mrs. Gillespie’s home. See State v. Thompson, 318 N.C. 395, 348 S.E. 2d 798 (1986) (<HOLDING>); State v. Barts, 316 N.C. 666, 343 S.E. 2d 828
