People v. Kozlowski3/4/2002
oo. She followed Lisa into the backseat. Kozlowski tried to start the car, but was not able to get it in gear. After a few minutes, he let Robyn drive. Kozlowski got into the backseat beside Lisa. Gatson put his arm around Robyn and told her "You're a very beautiful girl. You're going to be my girlfriend for the night." Kozlowski said, "No, we're not like that." Gatson was angry when he heard Kozlowski say that. Gatson told Robyn," You can't run from a bullet. You know that, right?"
Gatson told Robyn to drive toward a 7-Eleven store. In the backseat, Kozlowski began looking through Lisa's purse. He took some change and an ATM card. Kozlowski asked for Lisa's PIN code. She did not want to reveal this but she was in a dangerous position, so she did. During the drive, Gatson handed Kozlowski a roll of tape and instructed him to tie Lisa's hands. Kozlowski did so. Then, he asked Lisa if she had anything on her. When she replied that she had $20 in her shirt pocket, he took the money and a pocket knife that she also had.
At the 7-Eleven store, Kozlowski got out of the car. Gatson remained, pointing his gun at Robyn. Robyn began crying and pleaded with Gatson to let them go. He said for them not to worry. " e're not going to do anything to you guys. We'll probably just take you up a road and slit your tires so you . . . can't go to the cops right away."
Kozlowski came back to the car with cigarettes and a six-pack of Coke. He got into the backseat behind Robyn again. He indicated that he had tried to use Lisa's ATM card but that there was no money in it.
Gatson told Robyn to keep driving. Kozlowski found Robyn's purse and produced her ATM card. When asked for her PIN, she revealed it because one man held a gun and the other had a knife. On command, Robyn drove to another 7-Eleven store, where Kozlowski again left the other three in the car. Robyn was in tears, begging Gatson to let them go. Gatson was angry with her for crying, telling her "Stop crying, you fucking bitch." Lisa later recalled that Gatson said, "If a cop comes to the window, lean back so that I can have a good shot at him."
Kozlowski returned, indicating that he had obtained $200. He said that it was too bad that they had not picked up Lisa and Robyn before midnight, because they could have gotten $200 before midnight and another $200 after. Lisa complained that the tape was cutting off the circulation in her hands. Gatson instructed Kozlowski to loosen Lisa's hands. Kozlowski pulled out a folding knife that had a blade from four to six inches long, cut the tape off and told Lisa to remove the old tape so he could retape her hands. He taped them looser this time.
Robyn was instructed to drive to Palomares Road. She did as she was told. During the drive, she asked Gatson to let them go. He said that the "last girl that said that to me was sitting up on the stand pointing her finger at me." That comment scared Lisa. Twice, Gatson instructed Robyn to pull over and let cars pass her.
About 2:30 or 3:00 a.m., Gatson instructed Robyn to turn around and stop the car next to a ditch. Kozlowski told Robyn to get out of the car. As she stood next to her car, Kozlowski got out and stabbed Robyn in the chest near her heart. Then, he stabbed Robyn's arm. Lisa saw that it was slit open; there was blood all over. Kozlowski pushed Robyn back into the backseat of her car. He yelled that she was bleeding all over the car; Gatson said, "Shut the fuck up, bitch." Gatson tried to stab her legs, but she blocked him with her foot.
Gatson pointed the gun at Lisa and fired, but he missed. Lisa recalled that he laughed and said, "It scared you, huh?" Robyn remembered him saying
