  • several additional convictions for assault, threatening assault, and resisting arrest. Jenkins also has several arrests for assaults and aggravated assaults that demonstrate a tendency towards violence even if they did not result in convictions.
    In total, he has 5 prior convictions stemming from incidents involving physical violence or the threat of physical violence. Two of the victims were police officers whom Jenkins violently resisted. In addition, there are four other matters which were not prosecuted but likewise involved physical violence, including the killing of his stepfather. His mother confided in Mr. Jenkins that she was terrified of Mr. Selman. On August 19, 1997, the abuse had become so bad that Mr. Jenkins found himself in an altercation with Mr. Selman wherein Mr. Selman approached Mr. Jenkins with a shot gun pointed at him, shouting death threats. Mr. Jenkins feared for his life and for his mother’s life, and shot Mr. Selman in self-defense, killing him. Because Mr. Jenkins acted in self-defense a grand jury declined to indict him.
