JEFFERY T BENZIEN
To write a statement of what happened during a fight and to actually do so in detail, is very difficult.  You have to rely on your memory.
	With respect I don't know how many people have been involved in a struggle or a fight, especially of this nature, it is a continuing act of rolling around and there is a lot of motion, and it is very difficult to describe the events in the exact order in which they happened.
	I know that we attempted to handcuff the deceased.  And a blow which I delivered to the deceased's head, the intention of that was to render him unconscious, but how hard do  you hit a person, not to kill him if you are using a firearm?
	To answer your question, we were on the ground.  I had hoped that he was unconscious and we tried to handcuff him.
