"The state will prove without a reasonable doubt that in early morning hours of Nov. 7 Cliff Rick shot Sidney Bell two times in the head at point blank range while Sidney Bell was asleep," Marion County Prosecutor Jim Slagle said to the jury seated in the case. "For self defense, the judge would tell you that the defendant had to have reasonable grounds and an honest belief that he was in immediate danger of death or great bodily harm and the only means of escape from such danger is by the means of deadly force," Slagle said.
