Bob Russel and Deputy Bill Hybl together with defense counsel Tom Henley and Tom Stiffler had all agreed to waive trial by jury and the matter was tried to the court.

Asked if she knew anything about the shooting she first replied all shooting at the but later admitted she had done it.

She also said she had a cocked gun under her leg in the car. She refused several times to get out of the car, the witness continued, and pointed her gun at the officer who told her to put it down. He testified she answered be a hero or use Finally she did get out of the vehicle and as the witness tried to get close to her she told him, back. come closer. going to get my She then proceeded to walk east followed by the witness, sometimes in a police car and sometimes on foot.
