Walker and three of his friends
were heading for a local restaurant on the night of Dec. 10, 2003, when
sheriff's deputies pulled them over on busy Interstate 185. Police said
they were acting on a tip that heavily-armed Miami drug dealers were
making a delivery in Columbus that night and were driving an SUV. The
three surviving men say they were physically pulled out of their Yukon,
thrown on the ground with guns pointed at their heads and not allowed
to ask any questions. The videotape shows all four men prone on the
ground, with no sign of resistance. Suddenly two shots ring out.
Officers then mill around Walker and leave him unattended for two
minutes before anyone attempts first aid. There were no weapons or
drugs found in the car or on Walker or his friends. Glisson first
claimed that he tripped as he put his knee in Walker's back and the
barrel of his semi-automatic machine gun to the back of his head. Later
he said that he fired "instinctively" when he thought Walker's hand
moved toward his pocket. [more] and [more]
