There was a distinct and sustained nystagmus at maximum deviation also in both eyes. I also observed nystagmus prior to forty-five degrees in both eyes. The next test I administered was the Walk and Turn

Next, I tested Jazmine Cooley’s oculomotor, trochlear, and abducens nerves by looking at the pupil of her eye and briefly shining a flashlight into her eyes asking her to look up, down, left, right, and side to side. Then, I repeated the same test, however, I did not use a flashlight this time, but I had her follow along to my clenched fist with my thumb held up.

In example, by Black Mobsters keeping drug activity in Groveland at a minimum, they are securing their profits on the one hand and deterring additional crime on the other
