40        Ibid., p. 78.

41        On not seeing Faulkner beating Cook, see ibid. p. 76, 78, 79; on not seeing him “shoot the shooter,” i.e., according to the prosecution, Abu-Jamal, ibid., p. 79 and TP, June 21, 22, 1982, multiple locations.

43        Ibid., p. 75.

44        Earlier on, she had insisted that the shooter “didn’t come running in front of the officer. […] The way he ran the officer was at an angle. […] The parking lot [he came from] is a big parking lot. It was at an angle.” Ibid., p. 90-91, emphasis mine.

50        During White’s cross examination, Judge Meyer Rose (WCTP, p. 64) asked White how far away she stood from “where this incident took place,” the incident apparently being the traffic stop and then Cook and Faulkner meeting right in between the VW and the police car, upon which (ibid., p. 65) she answered “Three cars away, three car lengths away,” and shortly later on (ibid., p. 66-67, my emphasis), there was the following dialogue:

 

            Alva: And after the conversation [between Cook and Faulkner], what happened?

            White: They were walking around. They walked around in between the cars, and walked to the sidewalk. A few more words passed.

            Alva: They walked in the direction that brought them closer to you; is that correct?
