Opening arguments presented in trial of ex-police officer Christopher Schurr

The trial of former Grand Rapids police officer Christopher Schurr, charged with second-degree murder in the death of Patrick Lyoya, has begun. The prosecution argues that Schurr unlawfully used lethal force against Lyoya, who was not a threat, while the defense claims Schurr acted in self-defense to prevent Lyoya from gaining control of his Taser.
