30, 1986, William Kunstler, the flamboyant attorney who specializes in civil rights cases, instead described Davis relationship with police to the jury in State Supreme Court in the Bronx.

As further evidence of his argument that police wanted to kill Davis, Kunstler cited the mammoth raid on Nov. 19, 1986, in which 27 officers came to the home of Davis sister, Regina Lewis, to talk to Larry Davis." The police have maintained they went there to question Davis about the murders.

The couple apparently drove around the block together before Brenta shot her, and then he took her keys to let himself into the apartment, OConnor said.
