Cops covering cops who commit murder

On the afternoon of October 2, 2006 my close friend of 20 years James Woodson was standing in the courtyard of his apartment building talking to his wife of 6 months, Pena.

He had just gotten home from work, had gotten his mail and was lingering by the pool which was surrounded on three sides by a two story apartment building with the fourth side being open to the street.

Fifteen witnesses in the apartment and on the street heard the gunshot and smelled gun smoke. Woodson fell instantly and was unresponsive, though in the panic the .38 caliber bullet wound in the left center of his back went unnoticed until he arrived at the hospital 20 minutes later, where he was pronounced dead.

Police investigating the incident interviewed all the residents of the building except one. An ex cop and terminal cancer patient named Daniel Lisuk. Several of the residents of the building informed the investigating officers that Woodson and Lisuk were not on friendly terms. But the cops acted like that didn’t matter, and stated in their reports that all of the residents in the building had been eliminated as potential suspects, concluding officially that Woodson had been struck by a stray bullet fired from several blocks away and that it had been done randomly. Yes, they actually contended that the bullet which struck Woodson in the heart was a random event.
