Dramatic testimony continues in Vang trial (Trial Day 3)
StarTribune ^ | 9/13/05 | Larry Oakes

In a strong but sometimes shaky voice, deer hunter Lauren Hesebeck described today the harrowing moments last November when Chai Soua Vang shot him from almost point-blank range, and how he watched friends die on the forest floor in northern Wisconsin.

Hesebeck was called to the stand this morning in the third day of the trial of Vang, 36, of St. Paul, in connection with the deaths of six fellow deer hunters.

Vang watched impassively as Hesebeck described the fatal confrontation, which began after Vang was confronted for trespassing.

The only defence Vang has now is that it wasn't him. "You're not dead yet?". Nice.

Well, I heard those white guys hurt Vang with their words, so they had a killing coming to them.  That's what I heard on DU anyway... stupid rednecks.

This is so hard to read. Thank you for keeping us up to date. This was cold-blooded murder, no self-defense, just murder.

In today's PC multicultural world, the verbal assaults (if indeed they took place at all, which I doubt) are worse than the violent physical ones.

Not just you. Amazing that these victims can even testify. Having to relive those moments must be devastating.

So far, I don't see any "conflicting testimony" between Hesebeck and Willers. I think the defence is grasping at straws.

Also, today we get an explaination of the one round fired from Willers' rifle. Hesebeck took 1 shot with it well after being wounded. No wonder that one shot missed.

Never heard of him. There was a Lorne Greene, though.
