Mayhem In Mobile: Officer Dead, One Wounded

In a related story; Mobile County Sheriff says Medalion Not Used to Slay Police Officer Steven Green

"Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran said he has seen Metro Jail video and does not believe that robbery suspect Lawrence Wallace Jr. fatally stabbed Mobile police Officer Steven Green with a medallion that he was wearing when arrested."

"'I know there is a lot of concern about the medallion," Cochran said Monday. "We’re still early in the investigation, but I have reason to believe that that is in fact not the cause of what contributed to this situation.'"

It seems to me this one is one the Mobile police. They should have taken the necklace when he was booked at the station. The length of the necklace alone made it a potential deadly weapon.

I think Sheriff Cochern knows this and is just trying to cover for his fellow LEOs. I'm sure further inquiries from the media will result in a statement saying no further information is available because the matter is "under investigation".

However, I am just as sure the truth will come out when Greens widow sues everybody under the sun for negligence and wrongful death.
