Jewel Hall told the Albuquerque Journal that Milton Hall was her only son and "they didn't have to kill him." She said witnesses told her that her son walked into a store for coffee and "either forgot to pay for it or made a remark to the clerk," which is why the clerk called police. She said he was holding a "plastic knife, like you would get in the convenience store,"...Milton Hall's cousin, Michael Washington, told The Saginaw News "Milton wouldn't hurt a fly" at his funeral.
