Mr. LOWERY. I couldn't say which side that----

Mr. HUBERT. You don't know whether it was on Harrison's left side or

right side?

Mr. LOWERY. No, sir.

Mr. HUBERT. Do you remember the automobile that went up the ramp just

before the shooting that had a flashing red light on top of it and two

or three officers in the car?

Mr. LOWERY. Well, now, that is one of the statements we changed. I

remember the marked squad car being driven with Officer O'Dell going

up the--oh, we call it the north ramp, the wrong way, which--with his

red lights on, but this car only had the one officer in it, the best I

remember.

Mr. HUBERT. Do you know Rio Pierce?

Mr. LOWERY. Yes, sir.

Mr. HUBERT. Did you see him drive a car up that ramp?

Mr. LOWERY. I will say that between the time that Officer O'Dell went

up the north ramp, I couldn't tell you in minutes or seconds how

much time had elapsed, but there was a plain car, and I believe it

was driven by Lieutenant Pierce, and he had a couple or three other

officers. I couldn't say exactly how many officers were in the car, but

it did go up the ramp with red lights on going up the north ramp to the

Main Street entrance.

Mr. HUBERT. That was after O'Dell had passed?

Mr. LOWERY. Yes, sir; best I remember.

Mr. HUBERT. So, that the statement--I would ask you to have another

look at the statement, which is Exhibit 5083, and ask you if it is

the statement that you previously corrected so that it would refer to

O'Dell. Isn't it, in fact, correct insofar as it would deal with what

you have just said about Pierce?

Mr. LOWERY. Now, here is the statement we changed.

Mr. HUBERT. I see your point, and that is that the O'Dell car did not

have a red light on it?

Mr. LOWERY. Yes, sir, it did, but the O'Dell was--the O'Dell car was a

marked squad car, and that was the change that we made. This O'Dell's

car was the first car to go up the ramp, and he was--there was only one

person in the car.
