Hired to represent the city of Ferguson and help officials try to rebuild the city’s image after the police shooting of Michael Brown, Devin James' contract was terminated when the St. Louis Economic Development organization that hired him became aware of his past. James once shot and killed an unarmed man, and was convicted of reckless homicide.
The incident began when two men, Rodney Steward and Marcus Moffitt, nicknamed “Big D,” showed up at his house to rob him, according an account James provided to Memphis police in 2004.
James said Moffitt had a 9 mm handgun and ordered him to lie down because they were going to rob him, court records show.
James fled to another room to get his own handgun, which he said he bought for protection after being robbed. When they saw his weapon they ran out his back door, according to court records. James chased them, and Moffitt starting shooting. James shot back.
When police arrived they found Steward dead in James’ yard with 2.4 grams of crack cocaine in his pocket. Shelby County’s medical examiner said Steward had been shot eight times.
During James’ trial, a Memphis police sergeant testified that all bullet casings at the scene came from James’ gun. The sergeant returned the next day and found “no evidence of bullet strikes inside or outside the house.”
okay right off the bat another wild tale from Grimm's since he was hired by Fergus you would think he was White. the story I'm sure would have been picked up by Ferguson paper or could be bought in Ferguson so I find it hard to believe the city council didn't know his history in fact what we learned about other criminals being hired from other police forces where they were let go for their criminal behavior. also the investigator that went back and found no corroborating evidence of James's concoction all would be in those stories, so we are back to criminal intent was a primary criteria to get hired in Ferguson, would explain the lawless law enforcers and those that hire them.
