Description
After kidnapping his former girlfriend, Delana Atkins, at gunpoint as she left work, Gary Cooks forced Atkins to drive her car away from her workplace. Atkins panicked, erratic driving---resulting from Cooks abducting Atkins, threatening her life, and shooting his gun in the car---prompted Cooks to take over the wheel. Atkins subsequent, unsuccessful attempt to escape the car succeeded only in seriously injuring her. Seeking "witnesses" that he did not push Atkins from the car, Cooks took Atkins, first, to an anesthesiologist friend of Cooks and, then, to a former Cooks attorney, each of whom pleaded with Cooks to take Atkins to the hospital for treatment. Two hours after the initial abduction, Cooks drove Atkins to a hospital emergency room.
