Question 2

Was Stratton's Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination violated when the jury was shown a video with him refusing to identify himself to Officer Chavez during a Terry stop?

A party of about 20 people, including Hispanics and African Americans, turned violent when a fight erupted and two black men were evicted. They returned shortly with Torrence Stratton, who was described as wearing a bright shirt. They brandished guns, were forced out, but returned immediately and fired shots, striking several party-goers. Pasco Police Officer Chavez, patrolling in an audio/video equipped car, was notified by dispatch about the shooting. He spotted and followed a vehicle matching the dispatch description, and pulled in behind the suspect vehicle when it parked on a side street. He saw a black male dressed in a yellow shirt walking away; he was Torrance Stratton. Officer Chavez testified that Stratton didn't want to talk to me. Defense counsel objected; the court sustained the objection and instructed the jury to disregard that testimony. However, a video of Officer Chavez stopping Stratton was played to the jury. The man identified as Stratton did not clearly respond when asked his name three times.
