"A man charged in connection with a Jackson slaying claims the shooting was in self-defense.During a court hearing Monday, Michael Fields, 21, was denied bond. Fields is accused in a Labor Day weekend shooting outside Camelot Apartments that killed Marquel Hill, police said.As Fields walked into court, he told 16 WAPT's Andrew Kinsey that Hill had a weapon.\"It's self-defense,\" Fields said. \"They tried to rob me.\"\"When Mr. Fields turned himself in, he also turned in the gun that was used,\" said Jackson Police Department homicide Detective Adrian Craft.Craft testified that Fields told investigators that Hill and two other men tried to rob him two days in a row.\"He said he pulled out his pistol, fired several shots at the three men and went into his complex,\" Craft said.Investigators said Fields told them the men came back nine hours later. Fields' girlfriend, Tomica Walker, said she was inside and heard it all.\"Whoever the guys were, I guess, attempted to rob him or jump him again and he had to defend himself,\" Walker said.The defense claims Mississippi's Castle Doctrine covers Fields, but prosecutors said that doesn't add up because Hill was shot twice in the back.\"I want him to answer for his crime. I want him to feel the pain that he has caused us for the loss of my nephew,\" said Hill's aunt, Ashunda Thompson.Hill's family is angry, confused and wants justice.\"Do you have any remorse for what happened?\" Kinsey asked Fields.\"Yes sir. I'm sorry about that and I didn't mean to, but they tried to rob me. And I'm sorry for the family. I was just protecting myself,\" Fields said.JPD detectives confirmed that Hill was armed but said it appears he didn't fire any rounds.The case against Fields has been handed to a Hinds County grand jury."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
