The trial of a former St. Louis police officer
charged with what prosecutors have described as the calculated killing
of a 24-year-old man six years ago will begin Monday.
Prosecutors allege that Jason Stockley, 36,
was recorded on an internal camera during a high-speed pursuit saying he
intended to kill Anthony Lamar Smith, before shooting him five times on
Dec. 20, 2011.
Initial police reports said officers approached Smith, who was
apparently involved in a drug deal behind a restaurant north of downtown
St. Louis, when he fled, according to court documents obtained by NBC affiliate KSDK.
At one point, the station reported, Stockley
could be heard in the video saying he was "going to kill this
[expletive] — don't you know it."
