*gasp* That's even worse than I had imagined.
If it's true, it's gonna make it very difficult for the shooting officers to convince a jury that they were in fear for their lives when they reportedly shot 18 times into the driver's side window.
Col. Edmundson said yesterday that there won't be any more press conferences until there is breaking news to announce. He's asking for members of the public to come forward with anything they know about the officers involved. I understand at yesterday's hearing the judge issued a gag order to those involved in the case.
I'm so glad that one of the Marksville officers on the scene was wearing a body cam. Had he not been, a false narrative would have been much easier to sell.
