hope but after that west indies dug in, but captain kraigg brathwaite made a century of his own they ll resume later on 288 for 4. qualifying for formula 0ne s season opening bahrain grand prix takes place later with defending world champion max verstappen leading the way in his red bull after the second practice session ahead of ferrari s charles leclerc. lewis hamilton could only manage ninth. we don t often see that, do we? as his mercedes struggled with a variety of issues we ll be live in bahrain later in the programme. and some really disappointing news, as katarina johnson thompson was unable to defend her pentatlon title at the world indoor athletic championships in belgrade on friday. she was competing in her first event since withdrawing from the olympic heptathlon with a leg injury last summer, she withdrew ahead of the final discipline, the 800m run. great britain s holly mills finished fourth, great britain s holly mills finished fourth. i m not sure why she withdrew.
that were very helpful to the prosecution s case. so, you know, the historical context that this doesn t happen very often, but when you look at this case in a specific way and you look at the weight of the evidence, it s not surprising to me. you talk about her testifying. why do you think the jury weren t swayed by, you know, the obvious remorse she showed in that very emotional testimony? yeah, that remorse, lots of people have opined about whether those were authentic tears, authentic, you know, emotion. i will give her the benefit of the doubt that anyone that kills someone, unless they re just a ruthless person, would have to feel some kind of sadness or remorse about that. but we also saw very emotional testimony from daunte wright s mother, and we know why daunte wright s mother was crying. what we know about kim potter is right after she shot and killed daunte, she didn t say, let me get him help. oh, my god, you know, can i save his life? he said, i messed up, expletive.
she was unresponsive, and he looked dead. reporter: bryant testified a neighbor then drove her to the scene about ten miles outside minneapolis. she identified her son in the middle of a street, by his sneakers. it was the worst day of my life. reporter: defense attorneys arguing there was a warrant for wright s arrest, and he resisted. he had to be arrested on the warrant. reporter: both sides focusing on potter pulling her gun instead of the taser. taser, taser, taser. a key issue in the case for you is what was her conscious thought as to whether or not she had a taser in her arm or whether or not she had a gun. that s why she said taser, taser, taser. she didn t say, gun, gun, gun. we trust them to know wrong from right, and left from right. this case is about an officer
