, following which is the first reference ta the presence of
the nonshooters:
All 14 raiding police officers were present inside
the apartment during the beatings and abuse, par-
ticipated in them and did nothing to try to stop
them. FRED HAMPTON was still lying unattend-
ed on the floor in the dining room. All 14 police of-
ficers then ransacked the apartment, turning beds
and dressers over and emptying their contents
throughout the apartment, and destroying and
mutilating evidence of what had occurred. [P] # 553
PL. 410 1SSGJ84-5] All 14 police officers saw
FRED HAMPTON lying on the floor with blood
coming from his head, but none did anything to try
to determine if he was alive and could. be helped. At
no time did any of the officers seek to determine the
nature of Plaintiffs’ injuries, or to assist or protect
them in any way.
There is no reference at all to any portion of the
transcript of the evidence with regard to any nonshooter
officer even being in the apartment. The only two
citations at all to the record are to Plaintifis’ Exhibits
553 and 410. Exhibit 553 is a photograph showing no
people but showing drawers out of a dresser, clothing on
the floor, and beds turned over. Exhibit 410 is a partial
transcript of testimony by nonshooter defendant
Lynwood Harris. Three of the pages, 77, 78, and 203
appear to be from a deposition of Harris and the balance
of the pages are from his appearance before the grand
jury at the time Barnabas Sears was appearing as the
special prosecutor. This exhibit is somewhat difficult to
read because of its disjointed nature, it being only a part
of a complete transcript. The exhibit was 32 pages of the
grand jury testimony but the first page of the exhibit is
numbered 57 and the last 157. It is clear, however, that .
it contains no evidence of any of the outside nonshooters
going into the apartment immediately following the
shooting. Harris apparently did go in at some later time
when the firearms were heing laid out on a mattress. At
the time of the shooting he heard the noise of the shots.
