Quote:California cop shot unarmed man less than one second after telling him to raise his hands in 2011: court
So on one hand we have...
Quote:“Less than a second elapsed between Villarreal commanding Herrera to take his hand from his pocket and Villarreal shooting him,” the court wrote, citing dashboard video from the police car. “Just as Herrera's hand came out of his pocket, Villarreal fired two shots in rapid succession...The command and the shots were almost simultaneous.”
and on the other we have...
Quote:Friday’s decision contradicts a 2013 verdict by the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, which said the shooting was reasonable and justified because Herrera had ignored orders to raise his hands before Villarreal fired his weapon.
How can this be?
Oh.
Quote:The Orange county prosecutors’ case didn’t use the video and instead relied on the officer’s statements.
