PORT ORCHARD, Wash. —

The Kitsap County prosecutor's office plans to retry a man accused of killing his father.

The 38-year-old Seabeck man, Martin Warren, was convicted in 2006 and sentenced to life in prison for the fatal shooting in 2004 of Russell Martin.

The conviction was overturned on appeal and returned to Kitsap County.

The Kitsap Sun reports Warren was initially convicted of shooting his father while he watched TV. They had been fighting over use of a car. The son said he had been high on methamphetamine for days and didn't recall.
