Federal prosecutors on Monday will take another shot at former Citronelle Police Chief Tyler Norris, whose earlier trial ended in a hung jury.
that Norris used excessive force during a traffic stop in June 2021, violating Isaiah McCree’s constitutional rights.
Before opening statements, U.S. District Judge Kristi DuBose must rule on a defense request to prohibit other officers who participated in the traffic stop from testifying about their opinions as to whether Norris acted reasonably or unreasonably. They also have asked the judge to bar testimony about the Citronelle Police Department/s policies and procedures on use of force.
The defense lawyers added: “Inasmuch as the three officers were witnesses to the actual incident, they can provide the jury clear factual evidence as to what occurred. Their testimony does not require their commentary or opinions in order for the jury to have a clear understanding of the evidence.” “The officers may testify as to facts they observed, and whether the force they witnessed was in their opinion consistent or inconsistent with their training and experience,” prosecutors wrote.
