Overview
- The trial, with a 14-member jury seated, moved into a second day of evidence that included a virtual walk-through of the scene and a focus on a discarded .357 Magnum.
- Prosecutors played police body-camera video and called eyewitness Ralph Turner, who said he saw a ground struggle before Michael Lopez flipped onto his back and shot Officer Mohamed Said.
- The medical examiner testified that Said died from a gunshot to the face.
- Prosecutors argue Lopez intended to kill to avoid returning to jail and cite his post-arrest statements to investigators.
- The defense maintains Lopez acted in self-defense and says he is expected to testify as proceedings continue.
