Black Admits Killing Driver For Flying Flag

A black teenager Thursday admitted firing the shots that killed a white driver of a pickup truck flying a Confederate flag.

Freddie Morrow, 18, testified that as his friends cried: “Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!” he fired from a moving car into the pickup driven by 19-year-old Michael Westerman.

Morrow is one of three black teenagers on trial on charges of murder, kidnapping and civil rights violations in the Jan. 14 slaying. A fourth man in the car testified against the others in return for two years’ probation.
