Overview
- Retired officer and use-of-force expert Jamie Borden testified that Daniel Sanchez’s shots were a reasonable response to an immediate threat after hearing rifle fire as police arrived.
- Borden said roughly 300 milliseconds passed between Sanchez’s command to drop the gun and his first shot, and he noted a shot from Rajan Moonesinghe coincided with Sanchez’s second round.
- An APD sergeant, an officer who believed he was being fired upon, and other witnesses detailed the chaotic scene as jurors weigh Ring and body-camera footage.
- On day one, the state’s expert told jurors Sanchez panicked and used excessive force, and the defense disclosed an autopsy showing cocaine and a 0.33 BAC in Moonesinghe’s system.
- Sanchez pleaded not guilty to a deadly conduct charge; court reconvenes Monday with a pause Tuesday for Veterans Day, and the trial is expected to last at least two weeks.
