Lyles had called to report a burglary in June of 2017 and was shot a total of seven times by responding Officers Jason Anderson and Steven McNew after they say she lunged at them with a knife inside her apartment.
At that point, Koehler played the synced video for Anderson and the jury that clearly shows him backing into the hallway of the apartment building – his feet and legs visible – as shots are fired, contradicting his recollection of events.“My feet were outside the apartment. That’s what the video appears to show,” Anderson said. “My recollection was that I was inside the apartment.”
McNew also spoke about his shock after Lyles had been shot and was down when he saw her 11-year-old son emerge from a bedroom. Testimony from the officers had to be delayed at one point last week after an outburst from Lyles’ 80-year-old father, when an attorney for one of the officers suggested Lyles called to report the burglary as a ruse to get officers to her home so she could manipulate a suicide by cop scenario.“I’m tired of them saying that. My daughter was not trying to commit suicide by police. It’s wrong for you to keep saying that,” he continued.
Her weapons (yes, plural) are a more important factor than her skin color or number of kids, but don’t expect to read about that part in the inflammatory headlines.
Beware this particular gun nut🩸
