my father off. >> i remember taking it in the backyard and i tried to fire it. it burned my hand. it backfired. it could not shoot. so, i took the starter pistol, and i put it all the way back and my dresser drawer, under all my clothes. and i forgot about it. i had that thing. so my mother decided to move to englewood and take my brother and i had to englewood, because with my parents separating, we were losing the house.
7:14 pm
that's what my mom or -- my mother unfortunately had to take him out of -- my brother started going to dwight mauro high school in englewood. he didn't want to go, because he knew that there were kids side that didn't get along with him. >> most of his friends, they were going to teaneck high school. but he couldn't go there. >> the fights used to be between englewood, teaneck -- it was a try town beef. never knew what the problem was. -- we've been doing this since the 60s. >> it's funny because, tenhaken angle would are just one street apart. they're just one bridge apart. but one philip went to englewood, the first couple days, i think -- it was on.

7:16 pm
eyes, he looked like a monster. >> he used to always tell me he had had a fight. only reason i knew where this starter pistol was was because i would wear my mother's clothes, things like that. i was looking through her gerard, and i was like, okay, i'll tell you where it is. but we have to pinkie swear on our lives that, you know, we're not gonna say anything, and that you're not gonna get it. after that, i kind of let it leave my mind. i didn't think anything of it. and then, this happened. >> i think he felt like he needed to carry a starter pistol because once you kind of get in that life, you get caught by yourself, and guys are driving by, there's a good chance you might need one. he was probably protecting
7:17 pm
himself. >> i don't know. i don't know. how did i let it get this far? i still think that i knew my own child. i don't. >> even if philip possessed a firearm, you can't shoot a firearm with your back to the officers. what could've done? >> yesterday, a state grand jury indicted officer -- reckless manslaughter. >> after months of grand jury testimony, in the second grand jury, the grand jury came back with an indictment. a manslaughter indictment. >> when they came back with the indictment -- i still felt that it should've been a murder charge. because it was murder. he was shot in the back with his hands up. >> accompanied by his family, officer gary spot clasped his hands and prayer and passed
7:18 pm
himself -- proceedings were about to begin. >> charges of secondary -- maximum plum interment of 5 to 10 years in prison. >> it is extremely rare for police officers to be put on trial. police officers are put on trial for corruption, that sort of thing. this was very different. this was a police officer who in the course of doing his duty was indicted for a criminal offense -- manslaughter. >> i think that was, you know, the officer's worst fear. that their brother officer would now have to go to trial, and they spent a significant period in jail if convicted of the charges.
