Cameras Completely Capture CTA Shooting
The Sunday shooting on the CTA’s No. 71 bus allegedly by Milton Wardlaw, was captured explicitly on seven cameras. Video footage shows riders diving for cover as a teenager was fatally shot in the head.
Cook County prosecutor Emily Leuin presented details of Wardlaw’s alleged crime Friday in Cook County Bond Court.
Wardlaw repeatedly shook his head and stared incredulously as Leuin described the shooting, all of which was caught on camera: how Wardlaw allegedly argued with a man after accidentally touching his hand. How that man displayed a gun. And finally how Wardlaw, after getting off the bus at 71st and Woodlawn, walked a few feet, then turned and allegedly fired at the bus. [S-T]

I guess that's going to put a crimp in his whole "I didn't shoot anyone, I didn't even have a gun, just watch the video" defense, isn't it?

Damn cameras just trying to keep him down.

I can't wait for his public defender lawyer to try to get him found not guilty on this one.
Maybe his evil twin did it!

So not only is he a murdering asshole, but a lying murdering asshole as well. Have fun in prison!
Who should be next on the list but will probably be ignored: The other asshole who also pulled a gun.

Spook im a bit slow as Im sure you know explain to me again how when you get of a bus and decide to shoot into the bus striking and killing someone who had nothing to do with the original altercation it is anyones fault but his. Yes I am all for more prevention programs but it is to late for this piece of shit he is facing his third felony conviction. he isn't going to cure cancer he's just going to kill another innocent kid. The only thing we can prevent with him is another dead child by giving him a nice long stay in prison. Im not talking in broad strokes about social ills I am talking about a specific career criminal who is a danger to the rest of society.

um, no public defender will take this to trial. It will get pled to 2nd degree, as I am sure anyone would have a hard time arguing that this was a premeditated act.
Out in ten.
