COURT 2 testify to seeing men shoot at car

The two men face life in prison if convicted.
YOUNGSTOWN -- Two women testified Thursday that they saw Stephan Breedlove, 20, and Glenn R. Scott, 21, shoot at a vehicle that contained James Revere in November 2003.
But, under cross-examination, one of the women admitted she wasn't sure about her testimony.
Breedlove and Scott, both of Youngstown, are charged with aggravated murder with gun specifications. They face life imprisonment if convicted.
A jury was selected Wednesday and testimony continues today. The trial in the courtroom of Judge Jack M. Durkin of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court is expected to conclude next week.
Police reports say Breedlove, Scott and a third man, Keon L. Richardson, 20, shot into the car Revere was driving on Nov. 23, 2003. The body of the Saranac Avenue teenager was found in the car on Hayman Street on the city's North Side.
On Thursday, under direct examination from Gina Buccino-Arnaut, an assistant county prosecutor, state witnesses Antia Marshall and Arielle Brown, both of Youngstown, said they saw Breedlove, Scott and Richardson shoot from their car into Revere's car. Marshall said Scott was driving.
Both women also said that when Revere's car backed into a pole on Hayman Street, Richardson got out of the car in which he was a passenger and continued shooting at Revere.
Richardson is scheduled to go on trial later this summer, and he also faces life imprisonment if convicted.
Inconsistencies
Atty. Louis DeFabio, who represents Breedlove, pointed out inconsistencies in Brown's testimony under cross-examination, compared with what she testified to at a suppression hearing in February and with her original statement to police the day of the shooting.
For one, she originally gave police the wrong last name for Breedlove.
She also told police she heard shots fired while she was on Griffith Street, but she testified she heard the shots at Covington Street and Madison Avenue.
In her statement to police, Brown didn't report seeing Breedlove or that the shots came from Breedlove's side of the car.
But she testified on the witness stand that Breedlove was involved in the shooting.
Her original statement to police and at the suppression hearing was that she didn't remember seeing Richardson getting out of the car, but she testified on the stand that he did. She later added that she wasn't sure whether one or two people got out of the car to shoot at Revere.
DeFabio also pointed out that the vantage point for both women, who said they saw the shooting from a bridge over the Madison Avenue Expressway, was about 500 feet from where the shooting took place.
When DeFabio asked Brown what her testimony was Thursday, she said, "I don't know what my testimony is today."
Scott is represented by Atty. Ted Macejko Jr. Both women told Macejko on his cross-examination that they saw Richardson, not Scott, get out of the car and shoot Revere.
Breedlove and Scott also face a potential five-year additional prison term for using a gun in the crime. State law requires the five-year penalty upon conviction, because the death was caused by discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle.
