the street, camera in the face, camera in the face. Can
you let me picket, can you get out of the way? No
response. Up and down the street. Until at one point
Mr. Minton went around the corner of The Fort Harrison
Hotel. When he went around the corner is when the police
officer was parked on the road. The officer did not see
what happened around that corner. What happened around
that corner is Mr. Howd assaulted Mr. Minton. Mr. Tyson
said that he put his hand out and touched his -- no, no.
You are going to see it in a minute. I am going to throw
it up on that screen. But you are going to see that
there is a crease here. So this wasn’t slapped. You are
going to see the force that Howd used on this sign as he
came back to Minton and knocked him back. What you are
going to see in a moment is a piece of evidence that is
going to be introduced in this trial. It is from the
vantage point of somebody that came around the corner
after the assault took place. This is not what the
officer said, but this is right after the assault took
place.

Your Honor, could you flip on the sound?

(Whereupon, the video tape was played for
the jury.)
