Slaughter’s road, which it was mentioned on the videotape
what the name of that road was. I don’t recall it. But
the van had gone, it was a street that was sort of
catacorner across from Benetta Slaughter’s road on the
other side of Belcher, and the van had gone in there with
another car. The van was facing in, and the other car
was facing out. The other car that was facing out was
parked on the side of the road and flashed its lights,
you know, towards us, it seemed. Seemingly just to taunt
us, that you know, here is another car load here. So
again I said if they are going to all this trouble to
these guys follow us all night let’s just go down The
Fort Harrison and do another quick picket before we go
back to the hotel.

Q Mr. Minton, when that starts you and Stacy
Brooks are walking towards a building, which is not The
Fort Harrison building and a van appears to come around
and jump out of the way. Do you remember that part?

Q Tell us about how that occurred?

A You know, I really wasn’t paying a lot of
attention, which is probably why -- I don’t know how it
occurred, other than the fact that I wasn’t paying
attention and this was alley way which a van came out of.
I just wasn’t paying attention.
