In the 2006 Sean Bell shooting case three officers have entered the second week of the trail. Detectives Gescard F. Isnora, Michael Oliver, and Marc Cooper are charged with negligent homicide for the shooting outside of the Club Kalua strip Club.
Bell and friends were attending a bachelor party and they had a problem which led the detectives to believe that Bell's party was armed.
The detectives wounded two men and killed Bell. It was later revealed that the men were unarmed.
This brings us to the present day court room in which a witness for the detectives Fabio Coicou who first stated that he heard someone in the Bell party state "We'll get the gat?"
Coicou has recanted his statement and added I don't even know what a gat is. Two of Bell's friends told the judge that they thought Coicou had a gun.
Coicou testified that "I kept my hands in my pocket t.o demonstrate peace."
Unfortunately it does not look good for the three detectives who made a mistake causing the death of Sean Bell and wounding his friends.
Its a tragedy and an indication that more training is needed for detectives who find them selves in similar situations.
