Four armed men walked into the Dixie Furniture Store in Fulton County, Ga., in broad daylight. Customers were rounded up and forced to lie face down on the floor. Employees were tied up with tape and the manager handed over store receipts, his watch and $6. A lone police officer responded to a silent alarm and sneaked into the store. He was shot in the face and died.
Warren McCleskey later confessed to robbing the store but denied killing the policeman. At his trial, the prosecution presented evidence that the bullet came from a gun matching McCleskey’s firearm in the store. (No gun was ever presented at trial. Witnesses just described it.)
