In his first interview since Raymond released his affidavit, Jernigan, president of the National Federation of the Blind and Baltimore resident, denied any automatic weapons at the commission and said the gun charges were groundless. He described Raymond as a disgruntled former employee who he says did not halt the trucking venture. He defended measures to fortify the building as energy saving and noted limited tape and intercom use, with no recordings of private conversations.
