Florida man claims self-defense in neighbor's death, drives body to lawyer's office

A southwest Florida man put his dead neighbor in the bed of his pickup truck and drove — bloody and agitated — to his lawyer's office, where he said he had killed the man in self-defense..

John Marshall, 52, showed up Wednesday afternoon, his attorney, Robert Harris, said. "He was clearly undergoing something," Harris said, noting that he was bleeding and flustered.
