The Whole Truth Project Looks At The Anthony Porter Case - Part VII - The Grand Jury Testimony Of Mark Senior
On February 11, 1999, Mark Senior testified before the Grand Jury.
Here are the key points from his testimony:
* He knew who Anthony Porter was
* On August 14, 1982, sometime after midnight, he went swimming in the Washington Park pool with his friends Michael Woodfork, Eugene Beckwith, and Kenneth Edwards.
* He saw four or five people in the northwest corner of the bleachers next to the swimming pool
* One of the persons he saw in the bleachers was Anthony Porter
* He heard gunshots and turned around and saw a male standing up and holding a gun.
* After the shots were fired, a woman staggered down from the bleachers and another person was laying down at the top of the bleachers
* He could not tell which person fired the shots
So, again, another person who puts Anthony Porter in park, in the bleachers, at the time of the shooting
And, again, Porter denies he was in the park that night
Hmm. . .
Why didn't David Protess or the Northwestern Medill Journalism students interview Mr. Senior?
Were they searching for the truth?
Or did they not want to know the truth?
Was their goal simply to spare Anthony Porter from the death penalty?
Stay tuned. . .
