“I put my arm over
hers and said, ‘Nikki,
don’t lose your life over
Kevin. He's not worth
it,”’Hall said.
According to Hall,
Redmond got into her
car and began backing
out of the driveway,
while Shorter walked to
his own car. Hall said
she went back inside the
house, then heard a gun
shut.
Redmond tired from
her car window and
drove away. The bullet
sctaped Shoreer's car,
struck him in the right
buttock and passed
through his upper thigh,
piercing his femoral
artery.
"\\.hc ,\.lid \hc Llidn‘(
point it, aim it at him ...
and she stated she didn't
thinle she shot him, =
police Detective Frank
Chisholm testutied at the
same hearing. “She stated
that she shot the gun
because she thought Mr.
Shorter was reaching into
the car tor his gun.”
Rcdmnnd U\lkl pnli(t'
Shorter kept a gun in his
car. However, the only
tircarm that investigators
tound was Redmond's
miles from the shooting
scene by the front steps of
her cousin’s house.
Shorter died three days
atter the shooting.
Assistant District Attor
ney Ann Elmore and Red
mond’s defense attorney,
Michael Schiavone, both
have declined to comment
on the case. A judge
imposed a gag order on
AUGUSTA FOCUS
witnesses two weeks after
the shooting.
Immediately after the
shooting, Schiavone
launched an aggressive
and public defense of
Redmond. He said she
had a permit for the gun
and carried it because
another man, a convicted
killer, had been stalking
her.
Schiavone also said Red
mond felt threatened by
Shorter when he con
tronted her that night.
“She was placed in the
position where he physi
cally and aggressively
came at her,” Schiavone
told The Associated Press
on Dec. 18. “And she felt
compelled to defend her-
SCI{.”
The Miss Savannah
pageant never revoked
Redmond's crown, at least
not publicly. Citing nega
tive publicity surrounding
the shooting, organizers
canceled the pageant last
year.
This year, the pageant is
advertising a new utle —
Miss First City, a refer
ence to Savannah as Geor
gia’s founding settlement.
Organizers declined to
discuss the change, but
said they won't crown a
Miss Savannah in 2005.
“No, we’re not,” said
David Whidden, the
pageant’s co-director. “We
are not having a Miss
Savannah pageant this
vear.”
