> Sons killed father after learning he wanted to sell their inheritance and open a bar
> The younger brother said the property dispute was central to the confrontation. That day, he went to his father's residence to ask him why he had decided to sell the land in question.
>During the confrontation, the father told his son to leave and reached for a pistol. Joshua Hitchcock fired his own gun in response.
>"After I had seen him laying on the ground, I went over to him and got on my knees, and I started to cry and asked him why," Joshua Hitchcock testified. "I was terrified and couldn't believe the actions that had just taken place."
> Prosecutor told the jury that Jacob Hitchcock obsessed over the property his father had inherited from their grandparents โ and wanted to make sure it stayed in the family.
>
"He had plans for it," Brooks said during closing arguments. "Nothing necessarily wrong with that, is there? Nothing wrong with wanting to inherit your grandparents' property. Take care of it. What's wrong is when that then germinates into an obsession."
