This is the second episode in a two-part series.

Please listen to Cynthia Priolo Part 1 before beginning this episode.

This is the fall line.

The driver of the car bumped from Nudge to the victim with his vehicle and she stepped out of the way.

And as she stepped out of the way, she took a mace can and fired some mace and into the interior portion of the car.

Apparently hitting the driver, even if she did, fired the mace gun into the car, striking the driver,

stepped out of the way that the driver had an option to drive away, call the police and then prosecute the victim.

It was April 1st, 1991, and three friends, Damon Parker, Stephanie Buffington and Cynthia Priolo,

were walking across North Avenue in Atlanta, Georgia, headed for a shopping center on Ponce, D'Lion, Avenue.

That center was anchored by a Kruger supermarket.

They hadn't planned on going into the store itself.

Its parking lot was just a convenient cut-through.

But after that night, they all, most especially Cynthia, would be associated with it.

Their shortcut meant that they walked with traffic streaming around them, cars heading toward or away from the store.

Here, Damon and Stephanie in separate interviews described what happened as they crossed that lot.

We came through the back parking lot, and we were going all the way to Ponce, D'Lion, coming from the back.

Were you in the back when you first encountered the car?

No, we were actually on the side. We had just come up to the front.

Basically, there was a loading dock, and then there was a little street that kind of came to the front of it.

And we were right there towards the front of it. We were still on the side.
