People keep talking about this “unconscious” kid on the floor but I’ve yet to see any video proof of this. How did they prove it at the trial?
Thank you for asking that. Hardly anyone does. The fact is, you cannot see what’s happening on the floor, whether the little rotter is lying still or reaching for something that Ersland might have thought was a weapon.
The bullet instantly took out the kid when it entered his brain, the kid collapsed like a sack of sand, bled while never moving, and then was executed with five shots.
The coroner and forensics found that the body never moved, never flinched, even when being shot five more times, the autopsy and blood patterns, and splatter, nature of the head wound etc, etc. etc. all told the tale.
Ersland did claim this:
""I went up to him. And he seemed to be just dazed. And he started talking to me, and he started turning to the right,” he said in an interview with Bill O’Reilly on Fox News’ "The O’Reilly Factor.” "I’m crippled. ... I thought I was going to get killed in the next few seconds.”
The evidence showed this: "Prosecutors allege physical evidence proves Parker was unarmed, unconscious and on his back when the pharmacist shot him five times in the abdomen. They allege Parker already was incapacitated because Ersland had shot him in the head."
