Kerrington Lewis told jurors Tuesday that Miles was walking from his mother's house to his grandmother's house on a cold snowy January night in 2010 when three men came up on him in a car and demanded drugs and money. Instead of pausing, he briefly fought with them and ran, Lewis says, because he thought he was being robbed. Lawyers for the three plainclothes police officers say Miles, now 20, was acting suspicious near a darkened house and ran after they wanted to question him.
