Topic: Mike Livingston

Clive Doyle argues that Mike Livingston was wrongly identified as a shooter simply because he was the only Black man to survive the siege, despite not fitting the physical description provided by agents. The judge reportedly blocked other defendants from testifying on Livingston's behalf, citing their status as co-defendants.

Testimony from ATF agents regarding the identity of shooters in the backyard was inconsistent, with descriptions of a "huge" black man wearing goggles and a mask. Mike Livingston, a small-statured man and the only black survivor to exit at that time, was subsequently charged despite not fitting the physical description. The court denied motions for co-defendants to testify on Livingston's behalf or to grant him a separate trial.
