Selling drugs isn’t as bad as murder, m’kay?
Wine, the commonwealth’s attorney, said at his May 22 news conference that Mattingly was shot by Kenneth Walker, who fired from inside the apartment.The bullet struck Mattingly’s femoral artery after piercing his wallet, which he kept in his left, front pocket, Wine said. Even so, Mattingly nearly bled to death, he said.“This was not something that they were trying to sweep under the rug,” Wine said.But on Sept. 1, Steve Romines, an attorney representing Walker in a civil suit against the city, said his review of the evidence indicates Mattingly was struck by friendly fire.“We know police are firing wildly from various angles,” Romines said. “The timeline and evidence at the scene is more indicative of (police) actually shooting Mattingly than it is Kenny Walker.”Ultimately, Cameron quashed Romines’ theory, saying Mattingly was struck by a 9 mm round; officers on scene all carried .40 caliber handguns.
