Judge: Accused NAU shooter can't use self-defense statements
(AP) — A northern Arizona judge says a man accused of shooting four Northern Arizona University students cannot use statements he made to police about being scared in his defense.
Judge Dan Slayton ruled Thursday that statements Steven Jones made after the shooting of Colin Brough, 20, would be inadmissible as part of his self-defense claim against the first-degree murder charge.
When he was placed in the back of a squad car, a dashboard camera recorded him saying, "Why did they punch me?" and "Why did they chase me?"
