Henry Furman was burglarizing the home of William Micke, when Micke awoke and caught him in the act. Furman first claimed he blindly fired his gun while trying to escape, and then later stated he tripped and the weapon he was carrying fired accidentally. Regardless, he was eligible for the death penalty under the then-extant Georgia law.
