taser

Christopher Schurr took the stand in his own defense Friday morning in a Kent County courtroom. It's the first time the former Grand Rapids police officer has spoken publicly about how he shot and killed Patrick Lyoya during a traffic stop in 2022.

Christopher Schurr’s attorneys asked for a mistrial when the prosecution rested their case today, saying two of the witnesses testified on accepted police practices that are irrelevant to Michigan law. They also asked the judge to issue her own verdict, saying no reasonable juror could find Schurr guilty.

The taser and its capabilities are a key point in the defense for former GRPD officer Christopher Schurr, who is on trial for second-degree murder.
