It was 7:00 at night.. there were very 2 vehicles on the road, them and the vehicle they were waiting on to pass before they made their left hand turn.

They were NOT going hunting but in fact were sent out there by one of the boys mothers, to drop off groceries and pick up a broken pantry door. She even had ordered pizza expecting them back in 30-45 minutes.

The Retired GW claims he "heard" the shot, and testified in court that he did not see it nor did he find any shell casing on the ground.


The boys never got out the truck, were not dressed in camo and had no spot lights or flash lights with them.

Remember, both deputy sheriffs testified in court that they searched the truck and did not find any shell casing inside the truck nor could they say that the gun had been fired. They returned the gun to the boys and told them they were free to go. The truck remained in the site of the retired GW the entire time, as he had them blocked in and refused to let them leave until deputies arrived.
