Day three of Christopher Schurr's murder trial: Prosecution rests, defense begins

The trial of former Grand Rapids police officer Christopher Schurr continues as he faces charges for the murder of Patrick Lyoya, who was fatally shot during a traffic stop in 2022. After the prosecution rested its case with testimony from 11 witnesses, including a use-of-force expert who deemed the shooting unreasonable, the defense began its arguments. Defense witnesses, including Grand Rapids police officers and Captain David Civer, countered the prosecution's claims by emphasizing the situational stress Schurr faced during the incident.
