As they were walking from the scene of a relative's murder on July 27, 2010, Loushawntha Carr told Emanuel "Manny" Summers, "F-- the police -- we know why this happened and we'll get (them)," within earshot of a NOPD detective, according to prosecutors. Authorities soon accused Summers of committing a shooting that wounded two men, one of whom he believed had slain his family member, and killed another.
While a jury for Summers' murder trial was being seated Monday, prosecutors asked Orleans Parish Criminal District Court Judge Camille Buras to let them introduce Carr's statement as evidence of a conspiracy to kill one of the shooting victims.
