Crime

While in the car, Ballew and others kept asking Hill where his money was, and  Hill  kept  replying  that  he  would  get  the  money. Hill  was  struggling  and  4 kicking, and Ballew hit him with his fist and his gun. he others also struck Hill. Ballew  and  Coffey  told  Pearson  where  to  drive,  and  they  eventually  stopped  at  a vacant lot.  There, all the men got out, and Pearson waited in the car. All five men started to walk Hill down a slope in the vacant lot.  Coffey left his shotgun in the car but took back his Baretta from Robinson.  Some testimony indicates  that  Ballew  still  had  his  9  mm  pistol  on  him.    At  Coffey  and  Ballew’s direction,  Baskin  stayed  near  the  street  as  a  lookout.    While  walking  down  the slope,  Robinson  asked  if  Ballew  was  going  to  shoot  Hill. Ballew  replied,  “[A]ll I’m here to do is talk to the man and to scare the man.” At the bottom of the slope, Coffey and Ballew kept asking Hill for money. Several of the men hit Hill with their fists, and Johnson used a stick.  Hill, on his knees  or  sitting  on  the  ground,  pleaded  to  be  let  alone.    Then,  Johnson  and Robinson left Coffey and Ballew alone with Hill at the bottom of the slope.  While at the top, Pearson, Baskin, Johnson, and Robinson heard several shots.
