Barba, Cohen and others in “Unfinished Business”

On the night that you saw Mehcad Carter, did you see a "field hand", a "jungle animal"... or simply a boy trying to make his way home?

Objection.

No, I want to answer that. I saw a hooded man following me. I told him to back off, and he came through my gate.

So, if it had been a white man walking behind you, would you have told him to get back, would you have pulled your gun?

Objection!

If it had been a white boy, I wouldn't have been afraid.

So let's be clear. Mehcad Carter didn't have to do anything. He didn't have to say anything. He just had to be a black boy standing on your sidewalk, and that gave you the right to shoot him.

That's not what I said.

Isn't it?
