TH Comments:
I posted two links below. The first one is titled "The Case of Michael Drejka." This is a video by JCS - Criminal Psychology on YouTube. It has a significant portion of the interview/interrogation and a narrator who gives the occasional comment or clarification. I also included a link to a follow up hearing.
Overview:
"The shooting of Markeis McGlockton, a 28-year-old man at a parking lot in Clearwater, Florida on July 19, 2018, was widely reported by news media as another instance of Florida's controversial 'Stand Your Ground Law', six years after the shooting death of Trayvon Martin generated international attention and debate. McGlockton was shot by Michael Drejka outside a local convenience store. Shortly before the shooting, Drejka approached McGlockton's car and began to verbally confront and point at McGlockton's girlfriend, Britany Jacobs, for parking in a disabled parking space without a placard. McGlockton came out of the store and shoved Drejka hard to the ground. At this point, Drejka drew his handgun and McGlockton began to back away. Two and a half seconds after Drejka hit the ground, he shot McGlockton. McGlockton later died from his injuries at a local hospital. McGlockton was unarmed at the time he was shot."
