Day nine of testimony in the Christopher Taylor murder trial has wrapped up.
The defense called in three witnesses, two of whom have testified before, as the court watched bodycam video from the deadly shooting., the girlfriend of Ramos, after the shooting took place. At first, the prosecution objected but the judge allowed it to be played without any audio.
The first witness who testified was Sgt. Steven McCormick who was a Special Investigations Unit detective. He conducted the interview with Garcia after the shooting. The second witness that testified is Detective Benjamin Hart who was brought in by the state a few days ago. The court played Hart's bodycam footage from the shooting.
The state proceeded to cross-examine Hart, asking him to define 'suicide by cop' to the jury, a term used by officers for incidents where a person forces the police to use deadly force."He did not want the police even pointing the guns at him, correct," Cobb asked. "Yes sir," Hart said. "Potentially, yes sir," Hart said. "Very difficult for him to leave through us," Hart said.
Another witness who testified again was APD officer Darrell Cantu-Harkless, who also had his bodycam footage shown in court.
