We’re still on recess at the moment, but the first pool report from court has dropped into my inbox.

Remember, due to Covid restriction, only two reporters are being allowed into the trial room each day, so everyone covering the event – including the Guardian – is relying on eyewitness reports sent from reporters in the room.

The reports are often really useful to get an understanding of how the jury is responding to certain evidence, and based on this morning’s session the pool report says jurors were paying close attention to Stiger’s evidence to prosecutors.

Court has gone into a 20 minute break as Stiger’s cross examination continues.

During that last exchange Nelson began asking the witness about the crowd of onlookers who filmed the George Floyd arrest, and, perhaps inadvertently, pointed out that cellphone video technology has fundamentally changed the way in which citizens have been able to document interactions with law enforcement.

The piece is five years old, but I’ve been thinking a lot about the Walter Scott case recently and some of what Feidin told me feels very relevant now:

My colleague Victoria Bekiempis has more background on the Graham v. Connor supreme court ruling and how its being used by the defense in an attempt to sow doubt about the reasonable use of force:

The Graham v. Connor case has come up as Nelson tries to establish that Stiger’s understanding of proper use-of-force is based on experience that might not apply to Minneapolis.

“Based on my training experience, every agency that…
