Blank, 29, is charged with shooting two Egg Harbor Township officers and shooting at a third. But, according to Blank, he was blinded by pepper spray, gasping for breath, handcuffed to a fence and being beaten when he felt Officer Clear Costantino's gun on the ground and, "I just fired."Christopher Blank thought it was a routine traffic stop. Then he saw the spotlight - and the officer with his gun drawn.
"I'm thinking, obviously they've got the wrong person," Blank testified at his attempted-murder trial Wednesday.
"Why did you fire?" defense attorney Mark Roddy asked.
"I was (expletive) dying, man," Blank said. "I was dying."
