Escanaba of the court proceedings against Jacob Cronick from Bark River, who is accused of shoting his ex-father-in-law, continued on Tuesday with statements by three witnesses in front of the Delta County Court Court. Because of a counting of crimes and an intention to attack, it is charged with the intention of causing fewer bodily harm than murder or by strangulation. On Tuesday, the victim of the shootout said in court.

The incident took place on January 21, 2024 when Cronick's ex-wife Alexandria “Alex” Parrotta came in Cronick's residence to get some of her things out of the garage with some other people. An argument broke out, which led to shooting.

The court heard of two members of the law enforcement and Eric Parrotta, the father of Alex and the alleged victim.

On the day of the incident, Eric gave background information and said that he and his brother John Parrotta were in the residence this morning to try to call up a tractor from the property. They could not start the tractor and then left without contact with someone in the residence, including cronick. John and Eric stopped in a nearby shop and waited to see if Alex drove by on the way to Cronick's residence.

The public prosecutor's Lauren Wickman asked Eric why he had Alex on Cronick's residence. He said he was there to see what Alex wanted to do against the tractor and wanted to support his daughter.

“I had never met someone who enjoyed being divorced. So I wanted to support my daughter and be with her. “ Said Eric.

On that day he spoke about his physical health and said it was not very good because he has vascular diseases and cancer at the stage four. He said the symptoms influence his breathing and causing him to get tired very quickly.

Wickman played the monitoring material of the day and showed the interaction before the dispute.

In the video, Eric Cronick Gay calls and states that he will set up a poster wall with money with money, which he received in an agreement on a small damage to Cronick.

Eric apologized for his language and said he called Cronick Gay because one of his other children was gay and claimed that Cronick didn't want Alex or her child to be nearby.

“I feel stupid. I am a 54-year-old man who uses a 12-year-old language, you know, who calls someone gay, that's stupid. So, I mean, I think I apologize for it, but that was the thought behind it. “ he said.

He added that he believed that he had defended his child in his own way.

Eric spoke about the incident and in particular made the phone from Cronick's hand. He said he felt threatened by the phone on his face, but admitted that he had badly behaved by pushing it out of his hand.

Shortly before Eric hits the phone from Cronick's hand, Cronick speaks about Alex and defends the accusations that he met her. Wickman asked Eric how he made the feeling to hear Cronick Alex 'name.

He said he was angry and suspected that this influenced his decision -making.

Defender Michale Boyle pointed out earlier alleged cases in which the two were negatively contacting each other.

Boyle asked Eric whether he remembered a case in which he approached Cronick and climbed into the face during a custody. Eric said he didn't remember such a situation.

He also spoke about his point of view when Cronick pulled his gun and what went through his head after he was shot into his stomach.

He said he had the feeling that he was Cronick's goal when he pushed Alex and Cody Richards out of the way to pursue him. He said it looked like cronick was striving for his middle of the middle.

After he was shot, he said he thought at first that it was a rubber ball, but later he realized that it was real. He was transported to OSF by John before he was flown to trauma surgery in Marquette, where he recovered for three days.

The jury also heard from Delta County Sergeant Mike Groleau, the responding officer of the scene.

He said Dispatch and Groleau that the weapon was unloaded and in his house on a table in the kitchen. He is put down by the deputy before loading them in to talk about what has just happened. He gave his report on the incident and said it was self -defense. Cronick did not want to share his surveillance material at this time without speaking to his lawyer, and even apologized to Groleau that he had not shared the film material. Groleau received a search command and the film material, which prompted him to assume that it may not be a self -defense.

He said the dispute was mutually fighting to the point where Cronick pulled his pistol and followed Eric. After freed from Richards Hold, he said that Cronick had entered the “danger area” again.

After Groleau had seen the film material, he arrested Cronick when further details of the shootout were unveiled.

He added that the film material also showed that Cronick reacted with more strength when he hit Eric on a vehicle after Eric hit the crawled phone from cronick's hand.

The jury heard briefly from Delta County Sgt. Tom Lewis, who was in the hospital to collect information from Eric. Lewis confirmed the pants that Eric wore on the day of shooting and confirmed that he took photos of Eric's injuries.
