New witness testifies in NYC p
NEW YORK - A last-minute witness testified Thursday before a grand jury that is considering whether to charge five police officers who unleashed a 50-bullet barrage that killed an unarmed man on his wedding day.
The testimony came as the city anxiously awaited jury‘s decision on the fate of the five officers, who could face a range of charges in the Nov. 25 shooting that killed 23-year-old Sean Bell and wounded two of his friends.
The man told detectives he heard the crash of vehicles and ran out to see what was happening, Palladino said. The man said he saw a black male fire one or two shots at a police officer and then flee into a nearby building. The man told detectives that he also heard police officers identifying themselves as police, Palladino said.
Bell was black, as are the other victims; three of the officers are black, and two are white.
The Rev. Al Sharpton , who has acted as a spokesman for the family of Bell and the surviving victims, said at a news conference that there‘s something "suspect" about a witness suddenly turning up at a police station instead of going to the prosecutor.
The shooting stirred outrage around New York, and officials were bracing for more of the same if the officers avoid charges.
Union representatives and lawyers for the officers have said their clients, who were conducting an undercover investigation at a strip club, believed Bell and his friends were going to retrieve a gun from a car after overhearing them argue with another patron. No gun was found.
Detective Paul Headley, who fired one round, and Officer Michael Carey, who fired three, testified first. Officer Marc Cooper fired four shots, and he was followed to the stand by Officer Gescard Isnora, who fired 11 shots. Michael Oliver, who reloaded and fired 31 shots, went last on Friday.
