Coroner to Officer Schadle: "What was his state when he came back, because I understand that you were putting him in?"

Schadle: "He had just attacked a deputy at the hospital, he was still sketchy."

Coroner: "Sketchy, what does that mean?"

Schadle: "He was kind of fidgety, resisting, angry."

Coroner: "So, you just sat him in there?"

Schadle: "Put him on a bed in there, got the cuffs off of him, left the cell closed the door."

Coroner: "And so, he was probably in there about how long?"

Schadle: "Probably, 2:30 to 2:40 a.m., somewhere around there is when we left the cell. And then I found him at 2:55 a.m.”

Coroner: "So, it was you, you, and another person that put him in the cell."

Deputy Dunning: "Well, when we put him in from coming back, it was me, Dep. Wedmore, and Huff."

Coroner: "And he seemed not anything more than agitated or jittery when you put him in the cell?"

Dunning: "I don't really know how to describe it. He was pretty shooken up."

Coroner: "Why do you think he was shook up?"

Dunning: "He knew he was in a lot of trouble. He knew the charges were going up, he knew he was trying to escape and he got caught. He knew what kind of trouble he was in, and that's why all this happened, so….He was looking at a lot of time."

Coroner: "Makes for a fast night for you all?"

Dunning: "Not fast enough."

It doesn’t seem to me that the world has lost anything of value here.

“According to the documents obtained by the I-Team, both Goldson’s toilet and bed were 12 feet from the center of his cell. If Goldson were standing on either of these objects, his reach would have to be a little more than 8 and a half feet in order to touch the sprinkler — that would require a 7.1 degree leaning tilt while pivoting at the ankle.”

Looks like the cops killed him. Is the death penalty what you get these days for possession of a sawed off. 22?

My point was that from what I could read he seemed to be a useless punk, of no value to society and his departure was beneficial.

Not if it was an unjustified death and cops aren’t supposed to be executioners either so society lost 3 ways The cops , the Justice and a man lost his life for no reason other than hatred NONE of this was beneficial ! not to me ..!

I understand your point of view and it has considerable merit in terms of the administration of justice. I cannot get past a deep dislike of people such as the dearly departed. So, we just disagree.
