Prosecution is focusing on the fact that Offc Tensing had 2 days per his union contract before he was questioned by investigators and the fact he watched the video before he was questioned.

Witness who lived on the street and was outside said the shots happened before the car took off. When she looked back and saw Offc Tensing on the ground she assumed he had been shot.

 

CPD officers also said they heard shot then the car taking off.

 

Note: The prosecution is presenting its case so we're going to hear things that are good for the prosecution.

A defense attorney was on 700 saying we should hear testimony today from a video expert who teaches the FBI how to break down video. He's a prosecution witness.

That boggles my mind. In my mind, I can't find any logic to waiting two days to ask questions of someone involved in an incident, let alone show them a video ahead of time. For out LEO's on here, would this be considered a normal procedure for anyone else (other than an officer)?

I never claimed it didn't happen, but you've suggested changing our legal process because you feel there are too many white people the jury....that's insane

 

Maybe to you. But in the hypothetical event that you'd ever be sitting in front of a jury, I doubt you'd ever feel like the jury wasn't fair. I can't say the same for myself.

Offc Tensing is going to have trouble explaining why the video doesn't match up with his testimony to the investigators especially considering he had watched the video prior to telling his story.

Pretty much the way I saw the video. Tensing reached for the gear shift or keys after Deboius put it into gear than I'm pretty positive, he shot him and than the foot slammed onto the gas.

That series of events pretty much confirms that he wasn't in danger. If he put the car into gear and then Tensing reached into the vehicle, he could have very easily backed up from the car and been out of any potential danger. The fact that he shot before the car was moving only further solidifies this as murder. IMO of course.

Offc Tensing says he was dragged and at one point his body was parallel with the ground as his arm was stuck inside the steering wheel. The part about being parallel and arm stuck is not seen in the video.

The questioning by the defense shows that we as humans will try to rationalize. Otherwise, why ask questions about marijuana, alcohol, and other substances being found in the car? 100% immaterial to the core issue. Yet it shows that human brains will try to rationalize a belief that police are always innocent.

 

Note: Not a condemnation of anyone including Offc Tensing. Just an observation.

I do think he was in danger, but I'm with Clyde that he said he was being dragged when in it didn't look like it. That could be his downfall. Defense will say his foot was on the gas and the car was in gear while the officer was leaning inside of the car.
