It means that if you put up the statements Officer Williams vs a witness.
Plus, who is the witness? If it is the passenger with Hayes than it is taken with a grain of salt. Also if it is an acquaintance of Hayes, same thing. When was this statement given? If by a PI than it was hours but most likely days later.

but smith was reaching for something when shot, who was the 2nd "shooter"?????


Until, ballistics says there is a different set of bullets out there, I am gonna say there wasn't a second shooter.

Eye witnesses are wrong a lot. Ask Darren Wilson.

Regardless, I don't see how this is a sure fire self defense case even IF Smith had a gun. IF someone followed me and purposefully slammed into the back of my car I would be worried about MY life. Hayes was clearly armed when he approached Smith's vehicle, and shot him in the back. reasonable fear for ones life is a hard sell given all these facts, even if Smith was armed.

No the difference is Donald said she didn't go in the car. That is not what she said


Did Donald misquote her?

If true that a white male appeared and carried off a gun I wouldn't expect to see anything anyway.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see for trial when this witness is on the stand.

Could Ceravalo have been carrying his own gun if he shows up to a scene where his friend was just shot to death and the shooter is 10 ft away still armed?

You think they would even purse the attempted second degree if ballistics showed that the round that hit Racquel was from Will's gun?

There is still a possibility of Will shooting his wife.

So Hayes pulls the gun. Will goes to retrieve his gun. He reaches over to grab the gun and Hayes shoots him. The gun goes off from Will getting shot and flinching from getting shot in the back. It hits Racquel in the legs.

It's still second degree murder

If that's the case then Racquel Smith has lied her arse off.

let's remember that the private investigator that Fuller brought in is not admissible in the actual trial

they would have to produce the actual witness who said that they saw someone remove a gun from Smith's vehicle.

until then... that's all dust in the wind and nothing more

Of course. But goddamn that's a bold fricking statement to make if it's completely fabricated.

True. I just don't see anyway Will could have shot her like some claim. But there is a lot in this case that doesn't make sense.

if Fuller's paying you a quarter mill (or maybe more... just spitballing here) to make it and there's almost no ramifications against you... would you make it?

no they are pretty much all facts.

We know Smith was rear ended.

We know Hayes was armed because he shot Smith. ITs really hard to shoot someone when you are unarmed. DO you think Hayes say Smith's gun, ran back to his car, got a gun ran back to Smith's car and someone shot him in the back?

Now you can argue that he didn't intentionally rear end him, whatever. We know he followed him and rear ended him.

Since he was charged with attempted 2nd degree murder on her does that mean ballistics matched Hayes' gun?

Not really, par for the course for this kind of hearing and this kind of defense.

Again, right now, his job is to poison the jury pool as much as possible with every thing he can possibly think of to plant the seeds of reasonable doubt.
