Day 4, in the show trial of Officer Christopher Schurr: More defense witnesses, a total of eight so far; “Schurr was getting exhausted”

“(wzzmtv) Officer Christopher Schurr’s prolonged struggle with Patrick Lyoya – the length of the fight, was ‘a very big deal,’’ grand rapids police capt. Chad McKersie says under questioning from attorney Mark Dodge.

“‘based on your review of the video, no hindsight, was Officer Schurr reasonable to resort to deadly force in this situation?’’ Dodge asks.

“‘yes,’’ McKersie responds. ‘I believe in my opinion he was in fear that this device was going to be used against him. he’s already exhausted at that moment.

“he adds: ‘at that time, the suspect in this incident had complete control of the taser, and had switched it from his left hand to his right hand.’ ’’
