Second day highlights in Officer Christopher Schurr show trial: white “expert witness” declares “Schurr judgment flaws caused his need to shoot Patrick Lyoya”

GRA: 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 judgment;

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.

Also, Bryan Chiles, a taser expert, said the taser, “WAS still dangerous after the two misses.”
