public. but specifically in this case in the public against another unarmed african-american gentleman who is now dead, mr. harris. would it be a defense that this is just an accident? what about that? it s not a defense necessarily because this is something that is likely to occur when you train someone on how to use deadly force, or when you allow someone to use deadly force. so when you assign someone to a violent crime unit and you arm them with a weapon there is a duty by an agency to train them properly. so i think training is going to be a very big issue in this case. and moving forward that people are going to be looking at. not just for the regular force. there are issues on the force as well. you also hear comments from another deputy indicating that he didn t care when mr. harris was saying that he couldn t
this is when the shots rang out. he falls. the officer walks over. the man was running away. he gets however many steps away and then he fires seven shots. a pause, an eighth shot. what is police protocol when it comes to something like this on its most basic? in most places you cannot shoot a fleeing felon. there are some places where you can shoot a fleeing felon or in some circumstances let s say someone is running from you and they are firing a gun over their shoulder at you, it makes sense that you would attempt to use appears he s unarmed. we don t have that here. at the beginning of the video it looked like there may have been a taser barb there. it looks as if the taser had been fired as well possibly. there s a taser bash here. whether he shot him with the taser and he ran at that point. some people do. some people you can shoot them with a taser and they are still active. we are not aware of mr. scott being armed in any way.
happening now, the jury is behind closed doors as we speak at the aaron hernandez murder trial. this is now the second day of deliberations. during closing arguments, a whopper from the defense. a surprise. the defense admitting for the first time that hernandez witnessed the murder of odin lloyd, but they say that two other men, earnest wallace and carlos ortiz were the ones that actually committed the act, pulled the trigger. prosecutors portray hernandez as a cold, calculating man. a man capable of pulling the trigger on someone simply he thought disrespected him. let s discuss all of this. cnn legal analyst mel robbins is here and danny cevallos, a criminal defense attorney. danny what about this whopper that john berman brings up. it seems a pretty big deal to bring up for the first time in
he s running away. why he was not chased by the officer he doesn t look like a threat to you. it doesn t look like that. it doesn t look like a threat at this point. we don t know what led us to this point. that part is missing. that part does not look like a threat. there s a couple other things we want to look at. after he s shot a number of times in the back, he goes up to walter scott right there and doesn t check if he s okay. he puts handcuffs on this man shot multiple times. actually, i hate to say it, if there was anything done right in this incident, that was probably the only thing that was done correct from what i can tell. that s not uncommon. i don t know if he s armed or not. he may have a weapon on him i m not aware of. initially i m going to go over to him and cuff him just to make sure he can t get to that weapon. that s why you have it here to lay it out. that is not unusual. what may be unusual is this. this is a big part of this case
