MADISON - A cloud of gun smoke hangs over the U.S. Bank teller counter and three people lie dead on the floor.
Their killer jumps and lands with one foot on the counter before momentum carries him to the other side.
Jose Sandoval, making his first sworn statement since he was convicted of the Sept. 26, 2002, Norfolk bank shootings, is asked why he jumped the counter.
"Because somebody was talking s--," Sandoval replies.
Madison County Attorney Joe Smith asks who.
"A Smurf."
"A smirk?"
"A Smurf," Sandoval repeats, as in the blue TV cartoon character.
"I take it from your answer you don't want to answer that question," Smith says. "Or is it really your testimony that a blue Smurf was in the bank?"
"That's what I said."
