Jurors heard testimony that Stafford fired 14 shots from his semi-automatic pistol. He testified in his own defense and said he never would have shot or even pursued if he knew a child was in the vehicle. He claimed that Greenhouse had fallen to the ground backing away from Few's car and he was trying to protect him (which makes little sense to me).
Before the shooting, Stafford and Greenhouse both had been sued over claims they had used excessive force or neglected their duties as police officers.
The Marksville Police Department suspended Stafford after his indictment on rape charges in 2011, but reinstated him after prosecutors dismissed the charges.
