this is texas. and a lot of people drive pickups. a lot of people drive white pickups. could this be a case of mistaken identity? there was a real doubt as to whether richard hicks was even involved in this shooting. and as more information trickles in, too many other details just don t add up. the physical evidence was inconsistent with what kevin lamance had told the police. kevin s statement places the pickup truck in a field, 217 yards away from the patrol car. the crime scene investigation validates this. there were two shell casings found in the field from the direction that surviving officer said the shots came from. but the rifle confiscated from richard s home shouldn t shoot that far. at least not accurately. i m not a big gun nut, but it was a .30-.30 and that s usually ....
he shot at us. he s down! 103 is down! copy. the surviving officer is also the victim s brother, kevin lamance. kevin was visibly shaken. i mean, he had just witnessed his brother being shot. 54-year-old richard hicks has been arrested for lamance s murder. but are police accusing an innocent man? he is looking at life in prison, which in this case would be a minimum of 40 years. and he would die if he got convicted. he would die in prison. and now richard hicks defense team prepares to take on the whitewright pd. richard hicks was a very convenient suspect. they were looking for him before there was ever anything to look for. the defense begins its investigation with an important fact. the lamance brothers were chasing a white pickup. but neither officer saw the face of the driver. ....
Yards out, where did it come from? the defense team now turns to forensic pathologist linda norton for answers. i was already predisposed to believe that this is going to be a pretty simple high-velocity rifle wound that killed a police officer. cut and dried. but dr. norton soon realizes the crime scene photos tell a much different story. the conclusions that i had to reach were a shock to me. one of the first things i looked at was the vehicle. kevin lamance stated his brother was shot while sitting in the driver s seat. if that s the case, then in order for him to be shot in the right eye, he s got to be looking towards the field. the bullet entered jim lamance s right eye and exited the back of his head. you re dealing with a high velocity missile. it doesn t matter whether it s fired from a handgun or rifle. it s high velocity. ....
Sighted for about 100 yards out. and that s about as far as you can hit what you re aiming at with that type of gun. the testimony from kevin lamance is that the first shot entered the driver s side window and exited the passenger side window. and that the second shot actually entered the driver s side window and struck james lamance. two shots from more than two football fields away, both flying straight through the patrol car. the bullets were never found, and hicks lawyers aren t buying it. to say it s pitch black out there is an understatement. it is so dark you can t see your hand in front of your face. for someone to say that richard hicks could get out of his truck and fire two shots through a driver s side window with a .30-.30 open-sight rifle, no scope, put two shots in there in a period of 8 to 12 seconds is incredible. ....
the thought is horrifying. the defense believes jim lamance was shot by his own partner and brother, kevin. this was a tragic case of friendly fire. friendly fire? or murder? two teams of experts are about to battle it out to find the truth. coming up next, a disturbing blood spatter analysis of the patrol car. we ve got to be seeing blood, bone, bullet fragments, and it s clean. but later, the autopsy tells its own story. once i got inside, the wound was much more consistent with a high-powered rifle. okay, one more time. where do we stand? ....
