Day Two: Alfonso was a block away when he saw "person fleeing"

Defense is now cross-examining Alfonso Jefferson. She asks if he is still in school. He says, yes, that he's a senior at Proctor High.

Alfonso says that on April 12 he did not tell police the night of the incident that he saw someone running away from the scene.

When he got home from school the next day, he says, police were at his house and he gave them a statement. When he spoke with them, he said that from what he could tell, the person had dark skin, wearing a white hoodie, but when he saw the person by Eagle Street that the hoodie was down.

Defense pulls out the aerial map to ask how close to Neilson Street Alfonso and his girlfriend got before heading in another direction. He admits that the person running was about one block away from he and his girlfriend. Defense questions how well he could see the person running from a block away.

Alfonso describes the demeanor the night of April 12 upon arriving back to his house as "normal," saying that shots fired is "nothing unusual"
