Diane macedo has more this noon. Chris and mary defense attorney robert brown is still giving his closing arguments. I had to leave the courtroom to come do this live shot. Hes talking for almost two hours trying to hammer the point that the officer shot akai gurley because of an accident not recklessness. It was reasonable for him to and did everything he reasonably could to save gurley and all of this to an absolutely packed courtroom. He arrived around 9 45 this prosecutors and friends and family of him and gurley. One big point the defense attorney tries to hammer home was how dark the stair well was in East New York when all of this happened in november of 2014 and he tried to ask the jury is it really unreasonable for an officer to have his gun out when its this dark in this kind of environment known to be dangerous. Another issue is whether or not he had his hand on the trigger as he entered that stair well. The defense attorney tried to show that even as holding the gun with his hand on the frame that its easy for him to have been startled and pull the trigger again as he claims to have done. Another big point of contention has been why he didnt radio for help right away. The defense is saying he did and one reason that might be misunderstood is that the radios werent working properly. Its one part where the defense seems ton pointing the finger werent working properly, he didnt administer cpr because he was never properly trained during his time at the Police Academy and the trigger pressure on the gun was lighter than it should have been according to nypd standards and that officer guns are not inspected until after Something Like this happens. So they are definitely trying to paint the picture that liang acted reasonably by going into the stair well with his gun drawn holding it in a reasonable fashion and gurley was hit by a bullet that came off the wall so pointing a gun in the same direction. The defense still going right now. They havent wrapped up yet and we expect to hear from the prosecutors after lunch. Macedo cbs 2 news. Thank you.

The gfs is the one model that gives us a bit of a bulls eye shifting off again to long island two to three inches. But look at the na m backed off and this is through wednesday night where you just see half an inch of snow so we are not talking about a lot of snow. After that the big feature this arctic air.

Im chris bosh. When i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung, it was serious. Fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. Treatment with xarelto. Hey guys hey, finally, somebody i can look up to. Besides arnie. Xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, theres limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions. Dont get me started on that. I didnt have to. We started on xarelto. Nice pass. Safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto may increase your sk of bleeding xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. You know xarelto is the 1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. Thats a big win. It is for me. With xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary strictions. Treatment with xarelto. Was the right move for us.
