Overview

• Jurors watched surveillance of the 2023 crash as prosecutors closed, and a former OIG investigator testified the video contradicted Morris’s account.
• The defense began presenting witnesses, including a friend who said Morris was not intoxicated, and Morris said he will offer his own account.
• Current OPCD Director Karl Fasold testified the original policy requiring drug and alcohol tests after accidents was deleted and attributed the deletion to Morris.
• Deputy Executive Director Teresa Thompson said the original vehicle policy was altered or removed from the system even though she was the only person authorized to make such changes.
• Former staff and vendors said HR was not notified and no post-crash test was requested, while the crash victim testified the vehicle displayed blue lights and finance records showed Morris paid a $250 deductible.
