The driver, I think, had long blond hair
and a moustache.

:56:05
And the other one
didn't have no hairs on his face.

:56:13
A person that is white
going through that area at night...

:56:16
he's a sore thumb,
he stick out for the first reason.

:56:20
And if they don't look right,
they're gonna stop you.

:56:26
The officer, he walked up to the vehicle.
:56:30
His car was behind...
:56:32
I don't know if it was behind or in front...
:56:34
but I know he had him pulled over,
and he was up to the car.

:56:39
I think he was up to the car. Let me think.
:56:42
Yeah, he was up to the car.
:56:45
As we was coming by
he had to have been up to the car.

:56:55
I didn't see no bullet. I didn't see no gunfire.
:56:58
Because I went on.
:57:14
We have three people
that testified and identified him...

:57:18
positively as being the driver
at the time that Wood was walking...

:57:23
right beside the car.
:57:25
So we know that he was the driver
from the witnesses...

:57:28
and we also know...
:57:30
that it was the driver
that shot Officer Wood...

:57:33
coming from his partner.
:57:35
We couldn't have made a case...
:57:37
with the voluntary statement
that we got from Adams.

:57:40
We had to rely on witnesses.
:57:43
And this is what we did.
:57:46
I always tried very hard,
every judge I know of does...

:57:50
to not show emotion on the bench.
:57:52
The reason, if you do show emotion...
:57:55
the jury might take it that
you're favoring one side or another.

:57:59
So you try to remain passive,
emotionless, objective.
