Defense to jury: Today you'll hear about the "real" #RoyOliver "The family
man, the father, the husband, the dedicated soldier, the dedicated police officer, the dedicated human being."
man, the father, the husband, the dedicated soldier, the dedicated police officer, the dedicated human being."
First witness is Liz Greer, 19. She grew up in #BalchSprings. Plays soccer at a college in Texas now. She's known #RoyOliver 5-6 yrs. Says he was "active in the community." Her mom was on council, Greer says Oliver would go to city events. He talked to ftbll players at her HS
Roy Oliver was found guilty of murder in the police shooting of Jordan Edwards.
Police officers are almost never convicted of murder.
Body cameras may have made the difference in this case.

2/ The use of police body cameras surged after the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri.
Advocates hoped their use would increase transparency & hold officers accountable.
But studies have uncovered mixed results. trib.it/lK

3/ It’s not unusual for police officers to walk around with cameras on their chests anymore. Five of the six Texas cities with a population over 500,000 have already deployed the cameras. trib.it/lK
