"A Los Angeles police officer who found the body [of Geoffrey Nelson] on his way to work, about 5:15am, testified that he saw Nelson's leg move.

"At 5:20am on Feb. 12, Donald Batchelder, a Los Angeles detective, entered the westbound Garden Grove (22) Freeway from the Euclid on-ramp in Garden Grove. He saw a nude body lying next to the curb. He stopped and started to get out, but noticed what appeared to be a slight movement in the right foot. Realizing that the person might still be alive, he backed down the ramp and drove to a nearby gas station to call for help" (Last Ride, Ch.6).
