Key testimony from second of two (White) officers shot by the (black) man who pulled the trigger
MILWAUKEE -- Key testimony Wednesday, October 7th in the case against Badger Guns. The second of two officers shot and seriously injured back in June of 2009 took the stand, as did the man who pulled the trigger. A jury must determine whether the gun shop is liable after allowing the sale of a gun to Jacob Collins -- who bought the gun for his friend, Julius Burton, who could not legally buy one himself. One month after the sale, Burton used the gun to shoot two Milwaukee police officers. Jacob Collins served two years in prison for buying the gun illegally. Julius Burton is serving 80 years in prison for the shooting. - (Black-on-white)
