PLEASE SPREAD THIS STORY EVERYWHERE This is mind boggling injustice!!! "Jessica Hicks never killed anyone, but she has been sitting in jail for more than two years, awaiting trial on a first-degree murder charge. A Phoenix police officer killed Uran. Under state law, because she was with him at the time, Hicks can be held responsible for his death and can be sentenced to life in prison. At the time, they would not give out the shooter’s name, telling The Arizona Republic that the officer was a “victim.” Hicks was involved in a car jacking and police chase with her abusive boyfriend Uran. There was a bystander video: Two police officers subduing Jessica Hicks, bending her first to her knees and then to the ground. She is not resisting. Suddenly, a third officer steps in and grabs Hicks by the back of the neck. He slams her forehead into the ground and leans his weight into her, grinding her face into the pavement. There was no firearm found in the Ford Escape. Police found it on the floor of the stolen pickup truck in the CityScape garage. It was a pellet gun. According to reports, a bystander told police he saw Hicks in the car and, “she appeared to be holding on and was scared.” Police reports detail witnesses seeing people fleeing into doors and alcoves on the sidewalk. Witnesses told The Republic that day how they had pulled people into the Subway restaurant to get them out of the way, seconds before the Escape came to a halt there. The Bearcat struck quickly, hitting the Escape on the rear driver’s side, which propelled the SUV across two lanes of the street, then made it boomerang up and over two curbs of the light rail and the sidewalk. An officer in a pickup truck tried to ram the car on the sidewalk but was stopped by the light-rail berm. A second, larger pickup crossed the curb and hit the car on the passenger door where Hicks was sitting. The car stalled. Its air bags deployed. The tires were flattened. Four Special Assignments Unit officers took cover about 20 feet away from the disabled Escape, behind the second pickup that had rammed the car. One was ordered out of the way by Norman, who took his place. Another stepped back. “You promised me you wouldn’t leave and that you loved me, you also promised that you would make sure I was safe and my heart would be within arm’s reach. You broke all those promises.” Jessica Hicks Bystanders said they could hear officers shouting, “Get out,” and other orders, but whether Uran could get out even if he wanted to is questionable. The air bags had deployed, and the driver's side door could only open about a foot because it was so close to the building. One witness, who asked not to be identified, said he watched Uran and Hicks through the windshield. “I could see them rattle around from being rammed, and then I could see they were not moving whatsoever,” he said. “No one was moving in that vehicle. I thought they were potentially unconscious.” Then, after a long moment, a shot rang out, and he assumed it was “an officer taking tactical steps toward the car,” a description that matches Norman’s moves in the video. Right before, according to the police report, a Phoenix police lieutenant approached the passenger side of the Escape with his gun drawn, made eye contact with Uran, and ordered him to put his hands up. Uran did for a moment, then reached back to the steering column to try to restart the car, or as the report said, “may have been reaching for a gun.” The lieutenant did not shoot, however. When he heard the “pop,” he did not know who had fired. Norman’s account also has Uran raising his hands briefly, then leaning over “very deliberately” toward the passenger side of the car. Hicks told police that Uran tried to restart the car. Then, she said, he uttered his last words: “I don’t know what to do, Jess.” The bullet tore through Uran’s skull and lodged behind his left eye. Customers cowering inside the Subway snapped pictures of the body, slumped in the front seat, blood dripping from his eye socket, literally a foot away from the restaurant’s front doors." http://bit.ly/2bOFMoq
