• Marasa v. State, 394 So. 2d 544 (Fla. 5th DCA 1981)
  …gic episode but this court is bound to enforce the law for the benefit, and detriment when required, of all persons. The appellant would have us reverse the conviction because he says the facts of this case fall within the facts of Parker v. State, 318 So. 2d 502 (Fla. 1st DCA 1975). In that case, Parker and the decedent were riding in a truck; the decedent was driving and Parker half-cocked a pistol and waved it by the victim’s head when it fired. All the evidence revealed there was no animosity between the…

  …killing him. See Weinstein v. State, 269 So. 2d 70 (Fla. 1st DCA 1972) (firecracker explosion caused defendant, holding a rifle, to jerk upward and discharge the rifle). Two other “accident” cases, a bit stronger on the facts, were Parker v. State, 318 So. 2d 502 (Fla. 1st DCA 1975) and Sharp v. State, 120 So. 2d 206 (Fla.2d DCA 1960). In Parker, the defendant was “fooling around” by waving his pistol around in the cab of a moving truck. At one point, he waved the pistol past the decedent’s head when it went…
