Please don't shoot me again': Desperate moment cop begs for his
life before being killed during routine traffic stop is caught on
dashcam.An Arkansas police officer who was
fatally shot during a traffic stop last year can be heard pleading for
his life with his attacker in dashboard video released yesterday.
The 20-minute video, shot from
Trumann police officer Jonathan Schmidt's squad car, shows how quickly
the April 2011 night traffic stop turned deadly.

The video shows Schmidt carrying out a routine check on a vehicle he suspected was uninsured.


After handcuffing and questioning the
driver for an unrelated warrant, Schmidt asks Lard for his name and date
of birth. A little over a minute later, as Schmidt opens the back
passenger door, a hand can be seen reaching out and firing at the
officer's face.
Jerry Lard, who was a passenger in the
back seat of the stopped car, was convicted last month of capital
murder for killing Schmidt. He has been sentenced to death.
