Lawyer, officials at odds over whether man admitted wounding police in Ferguson
Jason Sickles, Yahoo - March 17, 2015

The suspect charged with shooting two police officers during a demonstration in Ferguson, Mo., last week is now recanting a confession that he was the gunman, his lawyer told Yahoo News on Tuesday.

“He told me that he never fired a weapon,” said Jerryl T. Christmas, attorney for Jeffrey Williams.

Christmas said Williams, 20, was scared and in a “tremendous amount of pain,” having allegedly been pistol-whipped before being questioned by detectives.

“I think under those circumstances he would have said anything,” Christmas said. “Anytime someone is questioned without counsel and then I see that kind of bruising, then I'm suspicious about any statements that he may have voluntarily given.”

The lawyer said the injuries can be seen in the jail mug shot of his client.

Christmas also suggested that police coerced a statement by Williams in which he reportedly admitted to the shooting but said he wasn't targeting police. Schellman also rejected that assertion, noting the statement was videotaped....

"This wasn't any type of ambush shooting," Christmas said. "Those officers were shot accidentally."

McCulloch confirmed that the shots had been fired from an elevated spot on Tiffin Avenue, 125 yards to the west from the police headquarters. Shell casings were found there. He indicated that Williams said he had fired from a red car that was seen in the area.
