Officer Matthew Collins and Officer Christopher Burbank are on trial for second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Officer Timothy Rankine is charged with second-degree manslaughter.Hicks is an expert in use-of-force and trains officers.
However, with Hicks having no direct connection to the 2020 incident, the defense argued it was pointless to have him take the stand, and the judge agreed. "Witnesses, as you have pointed out, are not going to provide us any facts with what happened here," said Judge Bryan Chushcoff.This trial was originally expected to last for about two months. It is now predicted that the hearing may go into the new year. Chushcoff addressed a big reason for that delay is the unneeded testimonies from witnesses on the prosecutor’s list.
"We don’t need to hear from Officer Hicks until somebody’s pointed out that there is a problem with all that. Because, otherwise, we’re just wasting time," said Chushcoff to Eakes. Due to the change in the expected witness testimony, the prosecution told the judge they had no one prepared to take the stand.Court is expected to resume Thursday.that I have read and agree
