him to leave, Joanna had gotten angry with Sam and

yelled at him because his room was not clean. Ethan testified that after Joanna

yelled at Sam about his room but before Ethan and Jamie left the house, Sam

told him “how he was pissed off” at Joanna. Ethan said that Sam frequently got

upset with Joanna and she was “pretty hard on him.”           He also recalled an

occasion where Joanna was intoxicated and started “freaking out,” causing Sam

to flee into the back alley in his bare feet. Ethan stated that Sam stayed the night

at his house because Joanna was screaming and yelling and out of control. He

testified that on several occasions, Joanna became intoxicated and got angry

and irritable toward Sam. Ethan statedbrought it to Sam

and made sure that it was not loaded with ammunition. Gilfour testified that

before Sam took possession of the unloaded revolver, Gilfour was seated at the

kitchen table along with Joanna, Sam, and Ethan. Gilfour stated that he pulled

out the unloaded revolver and put it in the center of the table, that Joanna gave

permission for Sam to have it, that Joanna got up and walked away from the

table, and that Sam then grabbed the gun to look at it and handle it. Gilfour also

testified that he left the table after Sam picked up the revolver, and he stated that

he believed at that point the responsibility for the revolver was with Joanna

“because she had accepted the gun as a gift out of an act of kindness from me
