Opening statements in Christopher Schurr trial: Supporters for Schurr visible in front of the courthouse
GRA: I’ll summarize woodtv’s report, which said that opening statements by the prosecution and defense were given today, along with a video of the incident.
Meanwhile, Schurr had about 20 people, organized by Katherine Walsh, walking with signs in front of the courthouse.
“I believe this will turn out well for Officer Schurr; we’re here to support him.”
I haven’t heard of any similar situations where Whites came out to support a wrongly accused White.
Or maybe, it just wasn’t reported.

SECOND DAY HIGHLIGHTS IN CHRISTOPHER SCHURR SHOW TRIAL;WHITE "EXPERT WITNESS" DECLARES "SCHURR JUDGEMENT FLAWS CAUSED HIS NEED TO SHOOT PATRICK LYOYA "
ReplyDeleteGRA:Gathered this info from fox17,which showed court video.
Expert prosecution witness Seth Stoughton made three points about the case.
1)Schurr should not have chased Lyoya,with a passenger in the car. Poor judgement
2)He.fired his taser twice(missing),meaning the likelihood of Lyoya grabbing and using it to debilitate Schurr was unlikely.
(But not out of the question,if held close to a person's body.)
3)Schurr was not in fear of his life--which is required to use deadly force.
(Schurr will testify that he WAS in fear,no doubt. In a mano a mano confrontation,and a gun on his person--that Lyoya would have loved to get his drunken hands on--Schurr had no idea what would happen if Lyoya gained control of the situation.)
This will come down to Schurr's testimony and ability to convey what he was thinking during the Lyoya scrap..
The trial is expected to last only a few more days,"possibly wrapping up early next week "

By the way,the judge is a Jasmine Crockett,negress lookalike.
ReplyDeleteAlso,Bryan Chiles,a taser expert,said the taser,"WAS still dangerous after the two misses."

PROSECUTION RESTS IN SCHURR CASE;DEFENSE ASKS FOR MISTRIAL(DENIED),THEN CALLS A GRAND RAPIDS POLICE CAPTAIN TO TESTIFY THAT SCHURR FOLLOWED LOCAL RULES IN DEFENDING HIMSELF AGAINST LYOYA.
ReplyDeleteGRA:The mistrial attempt revolved around a prosecution witness,whom the defense said was NOT an expert in the field he was questioned about. The negress judge ruled against that motion(of course).
The defense called a few Grand Rapids police officers to the stand and a captain contradicted prosecution "experts",saying,"Officer Schurr followed GRPD rules in the situation with Lyoya" and that he "would have done the same things (Schurr)did after the traffic stop."
A total of 40 defense witnesses are expected to be called before the trial wraps up by Myself bday.

Obviously,my phone decided to write "Myself bday" for some reason. It was supposed to be "Monday".

The negress judge is Christina Mims. She discarded the motion for a mistrial because,"I don't believe that Mr Lyoya was in any position to use the taser he had his hands on."
ReplyDeleteThe GR police department appeared to be in agreement with Schurr's decision to use his weapon on Lyoya
Is it enough?
Also,Schurr's lawyer now says he is,"considering placing his client on the stand."
A couple weeks ago he said he definitely would. Does Schurr's lawyer feel like he's winning,so he has no need to do so?
