Fish soup alleged motive for killing
A Texas man allegedly killed a longtime acquaintance because he was tired of being teased -- with the last incident an insult to his fish soup.
Miguel Angel Ruiz is on trial in San Antonio, The San Antonio Express-News reported.
Prosecutors Wednesday introduced the police tape recording of Ruiz's confession. Ruiz said that, because he is very short, Jesus Guerrero liked to tease him.
Ruiz's lawyer, Albert Rodriguez, said the killing was not deliberate.
"It was a tragic incident that cost a life unnecessarily, but it was an accident," Rodriguez told the jury in his opening statement.
On the tape, Ruiz is heard saying Guerrero taunted him even when he had a gun in his hand, saying "Nah, nah, you still can't do nothing to me." // Copyright 2007 by United Press International
