fate is now in the hands of a jury with closing arguments now wrapped up. Taylor is the Austin police officer who shot and killedAfter hearing three weeks of witness testimony and watching hours of body camera footage, a jury will now make a decision on whether Taylor should be convicted of murder.
Tuesday kicked off with the jury visiting the parking lot where the shooting took place in 2020, at the state's request. After lunch, the state kicked off closing arguments with prosecutor Dexter Gilford saying Ramos was entitled to rely upon the sacred oath that Taylor took when he was entrusted with a rifle and ammunition.
After Gilford wrapped up, attorney Doug O'Connell began closing arguments for the defense saying that this case is about one thing: whether Taylor's perception of the threat was reasonable. He says this may be a tragedy but it is not murder.
