Officers at the scene say Crutcher was acting erratically and was not following commands.<\/p>\n
According to the affidavit, Shelby asked Crutcher if the vehicle was his and if it was disabled.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was mumbling to himself and would not answer any of Officer Shelby\u2019s questions. Mr. Crutcher kept putting his hands in his pockets and Officer Shelby kept telling him to show his hands. At that point, Mr. Crutcher began walking towards the abandoned vehicle with his hands held up and was not responding to any of Officer Shelby\u2019s commands to stop,\u201d the affidavit claims.<\/p>\n
In the dash cam video,<\/a> you see Crutcher walking away from an officer and toward his vehicle with his hands up.<\/p>\n Shortly after that, Crutcher was shot. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.<\/p>\n Tulsa County District Attorney Steve\u00a0Kunzweiler<\/a> charged Shelby with one count of first-degree manslaughter.<\/p>\n Shelby has pleaded not guilty to the charge.<\/a><\/p>\n The Associated Press reports that Shelby\u2019s lawyer claims she was hyper-focused on the situation at the time of the shooting, adding that she didn\u2019t hear other officers arrive at the scene or even the shot she fired.<\/p>\n Attorney Scott Wood\u00a0claims Shelby experienced \u201cauditory exclusion,\u201d a condition in which people in high-stress situations often don\u2019t hear sounds around them.<\/p>\n Shelby\u2019s attorneys asked a judge to dismiss the charges against her, but that motion was denied.<\/a><\/p>\n Instead, the judge set Shelby\u2019s trial date for May 8 at 1:30 p.m.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Source\u00a0 kfor.com<\/a><\/p>\n Save<\/span><\/p>\n Save<\/span><\/p>\n Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![](\"https:\/\/localtvkfor.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/09\/terencecrutcher.jpg\")
