Crystal police Lt Derrick Hacker wrapped up his state use of force testimony about 2:30pm. Questioning by defense contentious at times. But Lt. Hacker didn't budge in his conclusions -- Noor & partner Matthew Harrity made mistakes & #JustineDamond should still be alive.#NoorTrial
State now has perhaps their final witness on the stand. Former Charlottesville, VA Police Chief Timothy Longo. Longo brings police policy & administrative experience to the table. He told jury, it is the 1st time he has testified for the gov't against an officer. #NoorTrial
State expert Timothy Longo remains on stand as #Noortrial ended testimony today. He will be cross-examined by the defense tomorrow morning. Court resumes at 11am. Remember a juror has a job interview. So they are giving the juror time to take care of their business.
Longo blasted Noor for his use of deadly force. He told jurors that if these officers (Noor/Harrity) couldn't handle this call, then we need to start teaching citizens never to approach squad cars. He described it as a "shoot first, ask questions later" mentality #Noortrial
Longo testified it doesn't matter if #JustineDamond contacted squad or if there was a noise. He says nothing justifies the use of deadly force in the case. He said he may have changed his opinion if Justine had shattered out the back window of that squad, #Noortrial
