tained were unjustified.
There was no comment from
the blacks after the verdict, but
they had said earlier they would
appeal if they lost. One source
close to the case had indicated
that airing the shooting in open
court was as important in one
sense as securing a monetary
judgment.
The officers testified they were
under a rain of bricks, bottles and
stones and opened fire after a
sniper shot at them from a dor-
mitory window.
Students and a newsman at the
scene claimed that they recalled
one bottle thrown at the police de-
tachment - with no sign of snip-
ing.
The law enforcement officers
were lined up about 20 yards from
the dormitory; 50 to 100 young
blacks milled about in front of
them.
Police testified that no order to
"fire" was given, that the shooting
was a spontaneous reaction, taken
in self-defense
