7:46 pm

7:47 pm
first, was to put the other officer on the scene that they, on the witness stand, and that was wayne blanco. >> we have been waiting a long time to hear from officer wayne blanco, another one in authority at the time of the shooting. >> gary's partner wayne was a good cop. he was not one of these law enforcement guys who felt that it was a war. he understood what to enoch was, the communities in teaneck. wayne had a good sense of justice to. >> would you do when you got out of the car? >> i had my weapon. john >> budgetary weapon? >> because we had a report of a man with a gun. >> blanco in many respects as one of the key witnesses at the trial. he was the guy that could back up spath. was spath life in danger? >> there was a male they're wearing a red cap and a red coat. everyone turned and started to walk towards the wall. he started flailing around his

7:49 pm
seen, because i was on the corner, but there is no frisk. he never got that close to him. >> the reason that is important because i don't believe spath has specific knowledge that philip pannel had a gun. i think he suspected it, but i don't think he knew it. >> at the time that filipino was shot and killed, gary spath never had that firsthand knowledge. did you tell him which pocket it was? in >> no, all we do is that he had a gun. >> regardless of whether plunk padded phillips jacket what he said he did or not, the one thing we do know is that neither spath nor blanco actually saw this guy before spath shot philip. >> well, the suspect then ran about 20 feet, i'd say, and he put his left hand in his left side of the pocket and suddenly
7:50 pm
turned. and then officer spath fired the shot. >> he did not fire weapon, did you? >> no, because officer spath beat me to it. >> and then blanca said if it spath did not shoot him, he would've shot him. that means my son had no chance. he had no chance. had no chance because the only way you're ever gonna know is by heading into the big, wild, raging so-damned-beautiful- it-hurts world and finding out for yourself. were you born to follow a path? or were you born free? these are the things we thought about when we made the new grand cherokee. made for what you're made of. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ this is the moment. for a treatment for moderate-to-severe eczema.
