Text: ¶ 22. Tod Logan's testimony corroborates that of Cox in regard to the incidents that unfolded on the Sunday afternoon in question. Logan described hearing the gun shots and seeing several armed men approaching the truck, he described his reaction as one of shock. He described Whitten as screaming and cursing, and he corroborated Cox's testimony that Whitten had a beer in one hand and a pistol in the other. Logan testified that the other men with Whitten were carrying assault rifles and that Whitten ordered one of the men to shoot the truck, though he did not recall any of them actually shooting the truck. Logan testified that Whitten had the hammer back on his pistol, that he called them sorry sons of bitches and ordered them on the ground. Logan testified that Whitten pointed the cocked gun directly at him and that he felt very threatened. Logan claims that he heard Whitten threaten Cox once he was on the ground handcuffed, saying I'll kick your fucking face in. He also claims that Whitten turned to him and Spinosa and said of Cox, We ought to see if he can swim with them (handcuffs) on. Logan also testified that Whitten pulled Cox's cap down over his face and described Cox saying to Whitten, to either shoot him or let's go call the law. Logan testified that all at the camp except for the three detainees were armed, and that they were detained over an hour or two and were not free to leave. ¶ 23. Logan testified that he felt for sure that Whitten might have shot Randy Cox and that the incident has stuck in his mind. He testified that since the incident he has been afraid to leave his wife and children alone and that he suffered from nervousness and worry. He claims that as a result he is unable to concentrate at work and has become short tempered with his wife and children. Logan's wife also testified that Logan had acted differently since the incident, that he did not like to leave his family alone and trusted people less than he did before. She also testified that he was nervous and found it difficult to sleep and that his work had suffered. Logan's father testified that Logan's work had been affected, he stayed nervous and upset all the time, and was not the same since the incident.
