Heading: Witness Cecil Brewington

Text: In his trial testimony, Brewington claimed that Woods was supposed to bring drugs to Capers and that Henderson arrived with Woods. Brewington further testified that Woods left and returned with two other men (one of whom was the shooter). Finally, Brewington testified that Woods shot him in the scramble to escape the flat after shots rang out in the bedroom. Id. at 293. At both the time of the incident and the time of the trial, Brewington had recently been convicted of a drug charge and was released on bond pending appeal. Just over four months after Brewington’s testimony, the Michigan Court of Appeals affirmed his conviction, but remanded with instructions that the trial court enter a lesser sentence. People v. Brewington, No. 119778 (Mich. Ct. App. 1991). Brewington was not involved in the trial court’s subsequent evidentiary hearing.
