On Monday, March 4, a Suffolk Superior Court jury convicted a former Boston, Mass. bus driver of lying to police about an armed robbery that allegedly transpired during her shift over five years ago.
Nancy L. Parker, 54, told Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) police that a gun-toting assailant boarded her inbound Route 111 bus in Chelsea on the afternoon of Oct. 2, 2007. Parker relayed quite an ordeal, saying the passenger shot at her multiple times, demanded money, and pushed her to the ground before eventually fleeing the bus.
During last week's trial, conflicting evidence about the incident were brought to light, leading a jury to believe Parker may have deliberately misled authorities. Assistant District Attorney David McGowan introduced evidence and testimony related to Parker's account of a man pulling a gun, which he then fired at her a total of four times (once while she was seated, and then three times when she tried to rush past him). The stranger then supposedly pushed Parker to the ground, where he grabbed her wallet and fled.
