Witness says he was pressured to say "what they wanted"

Read storyA witness said the man accused of murdering Keith Carey dropped her to Police Headquarters on the day of the shooting.

The witness (whose name was withheld by court order) testified that Jamal Glinton, who is charged with killing Keith Carey in February of 2006, dropped her to her job at the Urban Renewal Project at the East Street Police station.

Her testimony matches another witness that says she was in a car with Glinton on the day of the shooting.

Prosecutors are hoping her testimony will establish a link between the car he used to drop her and the car they believe was used to leave the scene of the crime.

Glinton, along with Sean Brown and Dwight Knowles, is accused of shooting Carey at the Bank of the Bahamas on Harrold Road.

Knowles' cousin, Mickey Wright, testified that Knowles told him about a "situation" with a white Maxima and asked him to take it for repairs.

Wright said that he had been held by police for four days and pressured to tell them "what they wanted to hear".

The trial resumes Monday.
