This one hit me hard. I know Corey’s family, and when I tell you he was a geniuenly good person, I mean he was their pride and joy. A church drummer, Corey was on his way home from a gig when his car broke down on the side of I-95. While waiting on a tow truck, killer cop Nouman Raja approached his car. Raja was in plain clothes, in an umarked car. Instead of notifying Corey who he was, he aggressively approached the vehicle. Corey, who had a legal concealed carry permit, had his gun on him (he was stranded at 2am on the side of the interstate, so what better time to make sure you’re protected). Without warning, Raja shot Corey six times. He then took time to concoct his story, precious minutes that could have save Corey’s life. Further he LIED TO DISPATCH about Corey’s condition—he had died long before Raja even called for help. Raja attempted to use “Stand Your Ground” as a defense.
