He pointed the weapon at her, cocked the hammer and pulled the trigger twice without the gun going off, she told the court. But the third time, he shot her in the face, she testified. The bullet passed through both her arms, held out in front of her in self-defense, before striking her in the eye.
Finley maintained that the shooting was reckless but accidental on his part and disputed that he imposed a game of Russian roulette on Young. He told the court that what he said to Young was that the weapon appeared to him to be the type of gun used in Russian roulette.
