One of the Zyrtec thieves accused of striking and killing Errol Morris editor Karen Schmeer has been identified. David McKie, a 25-year-old from Brooklyn, told police that he was in the getaway car that collided with the Fog of War editor on the Upper West Side Friday night, but claims he wasn't behind the wheel. The driver and one additional passenger are still at large, while McKie—who'll take the stand on Thursday—faces 25 years to life. "My son is not a murderer, and he is deeply sorry," his mother told the Daily News, through tears.
