“My family knows I loved my uncle no matter what, but I was scared,” Birchett King told a Delaware County Court judge. “You will never know what truly happened that day.'
“My family knows I loved my uncle no matter what, but I was scared,” Birchett King told a Delaware County Court judge. “You will never know what truly happened that day."
King, in addressing Kelly, said his uncle was his best friend, and that nobody in their extended family truly understood their bond. He said his uncle struggled with his mental health, and turned to King when he was in “dark places.” Some of King’s loved ones, including his grandmother, father and fiancée, told Kelly that King is a hard-working family man who puts others first and is always willing to help anyone, at any time. They asked the judge for leniency, saying King is not a violent person.On the day of Ford’s death, investigators were called to ATP, an auto-body shop where King worked in Clifton Heights, for reports of a shooting.
As the argument continued, King said he believed his uncle was reaching for a gun and fired his weapon at the older man.
