Defense is cross examining Milek Jefferson who lived on Neilson Street and saw a figure run away from the scene as a car sped away in the opposite direction.
He says at that time that all the police had gotten from him was his name, and did not ask him if he saw anything. The next day, he says, he was in school when police came and got him and, at the police station, he sat down with police officers and gave a statement of what he had seen the night before. This all happened around 10-10:30 a.m. on April 13.
He says he told officers that in his statement he called the male he saw running a "black male in his late teens or early 20s," wearing a white or tan cloth jacket with the hood up. He says he also told police it did not appear that the male running did not appear to have anything in his hand. During his statements to the Grand Jury, defense points out that Jefferson saw a black male running away. During prosecution's questions, he said he couldn't tell if the figure was black or not.
Jefferson says he told police he wasn't sure if the black male had gotten out of the car...a question asked to him by police during his original statement ob April 13.
