When he arrived, Copney claimed that he had left some of the money at his home, according to court documents.

The three men then took a taxi to a Harlem apartment building. During the ride, Copney allegedly showed the Yale students $1,500 in cash and promised that he had the rest of the money in a cash box at his apartment.

When they arrived at the apartment Copney allegedly claimed that he did not have the key to the building and, according to the memorandum, said that he needed to call his friend, “Fat Boy,” whom Jiggetts later identified as himself.

Bolton told investigators that Jiggetts left him, Copney, and King. The three men went upstairs to an apartment.

Copney said he did not have the key to the apartment itself and left Bolton and King waiting outside the door.

Copney returned one minute later with Jiggetts, who had a pistol in his hand, according to court documents.

Bolton, prosecutors said in the memorandum, told investigators that Copney said something like, “Ya, this is what it is.”

Copney told Bolton to give him the bag of marijuana and also took Bolton’s driver’s license and King’s Yale University ID, the document said.

Bolton told Copney and Jiggetts that he did not have money to return home, so Jiggetts gave the two Yale men $50 to take a taxi home, according to the document.

Months after the robbery, in March 2009, Copney allegedly called Bolton at Yale and instructed him to withdraw $10,000 from his bank account and drop the money off at a location in New York City, according to the filing.

Bolton told Copney that he had stopped dealing drugs and would not pay the money. According to the memorandum, on the phone, Copney allegedly threatened Bolton by referencing several locations around Bolton’s dorm and later leaving a voice message saying, “If you like your life, you should drop off the money.”

KIRKLAND TRIAL

According to investigators, Smith did not initially disclose that she was aware of the robbery of the two Yale students. Only after later testimony did prosecutors learn that she knew of the robbery and had allegedly hidden some of the items stolen from the two students, according to the District Attorney’s filing.

In Campbell’s testimony of September 2009 described in court documents, she told investigators that she had told Smith that Copney had robbed the Yale students.

The IDs from the Yale robbery were discovered with the murder weapon from the Kirkland shooting under a bed in a Lowell House dorm room.
