http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2010/11/opening_arguments_begin_in_tri.html Opening arguments begin in trial of officers accused of shooting, burning Henry Glover Published: Wednesday, November 10, 2010, 10:56 AM Updated: Wednesday, November 10, 2010, 11:03 AM Laura Maggi, The Times-Picayune Laura Maggi, The Times-Picayune After two days of jury selection, attorneys have begun their opening arguments in the federal trial against five current and former New Orleans police officers in the 2005 death of Henry Glover. Defendent NOPD officer Robert Italiano,Jr. enters the Hale Boggs Federal Building in New Orleans on Monday, November 8, 2010 for the start of jury selection in the federal trial of the New Orleans Police Officers charged in connection with the killing of Henry Glover and subsequent burning of his body in the days after Hurricane Katrina. Henry Glover trial underway gallery (7 photos) In a 70-minute speech in , assistant U.S. Attorney Tracey Knight told the jury the former New Orleans police officer David Warren shot an innocent civilian on Sept. 2, 2005, then two other police officers began a concerted effort to cover up that fact by burning the man's body in a car on the Algiers levee. The coverup later extended to the writing of false reports by two other police officers, Knight said. Warren is charged with violating the 31-year-old Glover's civil rights by shooting him. Two other police officers, Lt. Dwayne Scheuermann and officer Greg McRae, are charged with beating men who tried to help the injured Glover and, eventually, burning Glover's corpse in a car. Two police supervisors, former Lt. Robert Italiano and Lt. Travis McCabe, are accused of writing a false police report about the shooting. While the five defendants are not accused of a conspiracy in this case, Knight described more coordination between the officers than has been previously disclosed. Specifically, Knight said that Italiano knew that Glover's body had been torched by officers in a car. Knight said several police officer witnesses will tesify in the trial, including Linda Howard, who was Warren's partner on the day of the shooting. Howard will testify that she and Warren were behind a locked gate when Glover approached the building they were guarding. She will also say that Warren fired his assault rifle as Glover was running away, Knight said. Knight also told jurors they will hear from Officer Purnella Simmons, who went to the scene of the shooting that day. Knight says that Simmons tried to tell Italiano, who was her supervisor, that she believed Warren had shot someone, but that Italiano dismissed her. The defense also began the first of what will be five opening statements. Attorney Julian Murray, who represents Warren, told the jury that the government's "reconstruction" of what happened is inaccurate. He said Warren and Howard were not behind locked gates, and that Glover was shot in the chest as he was running toward the building that Warren was guarding, not the back. Murray also said defense attorneys intend to point out the inconsistencies in key government witness statements, including that of Howard. "He is not a killer," Murray said of his client. |
