Parra also testified that about three weeks after that incident, on April 19, 2008, Parra was observing an interrogation of confessed hit man Vincent Smothers when Tolbert interrupted the questioning and shut it down, Yatooma said. The questioning of Smothers by Officer Ira Todd was stopped by Tolbert soon after Smothers said he was about to drop a “bombshell” that Parra believed related to former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, Yatooma said.
Second Deputy Chief John Roach, a spokesman for the department, had no immediate comment on Yatooma’s account of Parra’s deposition.
Parra, a member of a multi-jurisdictional Violent Crimes Task Force that is now investigating the Greene homicide, “confirmed more of the same sort of obstructionist nonsense,” that others have testified about in the Greene case, Yatooma said.
Greene, who was linked to a rumored but never proven stripper party at the mayor’s Manoogian Mansion in the fall of 2002, was killed in a drive-by shooting in Detroit on April 30, 2003. Her family is suing Kilpatrick and top city and police officials, alleging the investigation into her killing was obstructed for political reasons.
