Ammar Harris Trial: Day 2 focuses on technical testimony
LAS VEGAS (KSNV News3LV) -- The second day of the Ammar Harris murder trial brought highly technical testimony to the jury before the court broke for lunch. The prosecution spent most of the morning focusing on evidence from Metro investigators.
Officer Jeff Bangle was called to the stand because of his specialty in handling incidents where people are killed. Bangle told jurors where he believes people and vehicles were, on Las Vegas Boulevard, on the morning of February 21, 2013.
Ammar Harris is accused of firing a weapon and setting off a chain-reaction crash that killed three people. Prosecutors say the motive was road rage, while Harris' attorneys say it was self defense.
Another Metro investigator told the jury that he gathered security video from over 30 sources; from Strip casinos, from Metro, and in once case video from a cab company. Prosecutors told the jury the clips create a visual timeline of what happened before, during and after the shooting.
If convicted as charged, Harris faces the death penalty. It's expected the trial will last 5 weeks.
