This image from a video released by the U.S. Supreme Court from a dashboard camera video shows police officers at the scene where a car driven by Donald Rickard on July 17, 2004, crashed. Rickard led police officers from West Memphis, Ark., across the Mississippi River into Memphis, Tenn., on a high-speed chase. Rickard and passenger Kelly Allen were shot to death by officers. The Supreme Court is considering an appeal from the officers who say they did nothing wrong and should not be held financially liable for the deaths. Supreme Court justices on March 4, 2014, seemed poised to rule for police officers involved in a high-speed chase that ended with the deaths of the fleeing driver and his passenger. The video was not shown in court, but justices had seen it as part of filings with the court. (AP Photo/U.S. Supreme Court)
