Denied Remarks

Denying having made any
such remark to Greenfield, Mr.
Rhodes testified that he asked
the jailer to let him in the cell
after Greenfield called him a
"pig" and threw water in his
face. Mr. Rhodes said that he
then told the youth, "If you're
such a man do something
now."

According to testimony,
when Mr. Rhodes entered the
cell, Greenfield and Mr.
Hensley were calling each other
names and at the time, in
violation of jail procedures,
both officers were wearing
guns.

Mr. Hensley testified that at
that point he realized he had
made a "bad judgment" by
entering the cell and told Mr.
Rhodes, "Let's get out of
here."
