Murder Trial Witness Claims Coercion

DALLAS (AP) _ The key witness in a 1995 Dallas County murder trial says the prosecutor pushed him to ignore his doubts about whether he was correctly identifying the main suspect.

In an affidavit obtained by The Dallas Morning News, eyewitness Marcus Thurman says he told a prosecutor he could not remember what the shooter looked like.

Thurman says Dallas County prosecutor Tom D’Amore showed him a photograph of the suspect and told him to “just point out the man sitting at the table with the defense lawyer and say he was the shooter.”
