Supervisory Border Patrol Agent Charles Exum testified Wednesday that he had no role in the decision to release his government-issued vehicle after it was involved in a collision that led to him shooting a woman on Chicago's southwest side last month. "I was told to pick it up, [so] I picked it up," Exum said, adding that he believed the vehicle had no remaining evidentiary value after it was processed and released by the FBI. An attorney for the woman disputed Exum's account, arguing that releasing the vehicle before defense lawyers could inspect it may have led to the destruction of potentially favorable evidence. The lawyer also confronted the agent with text messages Exum sent to friends and family in the days after the incident in which he appeared to boast about his shooting skills. "I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys," one of those messages said.
