Media summary: Officer Jeff Crisel ran over Clayton Harris Jr. with a patrol car as Harris fled a traffic stop on foot in Venice. Crisel gave contradictory stories about the crash, first telling colleagues that Harris had jumped in front of his car, then telling investigators that he hadn't seen Harris before he struck him. A Madison County grand jury cleared Crisel. The Brooklyn board of trustees fired Crisel in May 2003, saying he'd lied on his application when he was hired a few months before he killed Harris.
