GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — No verdict was given to former police officer Christopher Schurr after the jury was unable to reach a decision Thursday following three days of deliberating.

The following is a recap of the trial:

Day One

Jurors heard from several people who witnessed the struggle between Schurr and Lyoya that ended with Lyoya's death, including the passenger Aime Tuyishme in Lyoya's car who filmed the incident and the homeowner Wayne Butler whose yard was the scene of the shooting.

In opening statements, Kalamazoo County Prosecutor Chris Becker didn't deny that Lyoya was driving without a license and resisted arrest, but argued that alone didn't mean lethal force was necessary because Lyoya didn't have the intent or ability to harm Schurr.

Meanwhile, according to defense attorney Mikayla Hamilton, Schurr gave 29 commands during his interaction with Lyoya before the fatal shooting, and video showed Lyoya grabbing Schurr's taser in the struggle. The defense argued that had Lyoya been able to tase Schurr, he could have taken his gun.

Throughout the day, the defense also questioned how much Lyoya had been drinking, with Tuyishme testifying the two had purchased beer before the incident.

Day Two

Jurors heard from witnesses who have a closer look at the technology Schurr used during the deadly encounter with Lyoya.

Bryan Chiles is manager of the company that developed Schurr's taser. He testified the information on the weapon's memory chip was stored on the day Lyoya as shot, which showed Schurr deployed the taser twice but did not hit Lyoya either time.

Chiles also explained how Schurr's bodycam worked, which stopped the recording shortly before Lyoya was shot. Per Chiles, the stop button had to be pressed for three seconds to turn off the device, and was activated more than a dozen times during the struggle.

Seth Stoughton, professor of law at the University of South Carolina, went point by point of Schurr's decisions, telling the court he was justified in stopping the car for the license plate and grabbing Lyoya to stop him from getting away.

However, Stoughton noted Schurr should have stopped when he ran away from the car, and should have known that with a passenger in the car, he created a risk of that passenger attacking him or destroying evidence.

In addition, Stoughton claimed no reasonable officer would have pulled the trigger, even after Lyoya grabbed Schurr's taser.

"An officer has never been tased or incapacitated and had their weapon removed and killed with it," Stoughton said. "No reasonable officer applying generally accepted practices relating to foot pursuits in this context would have done it."

Day Three

The prosecution wrapped up their arguments Wednesday, and to begin theirs, the defense called for a mistrial that was denied.

Five current and former police officers took the stand for the prosecution, analyzing each step toward the deadly outcome of Schurr's shooting of Lyoya April 4, 2022, two of whom wrote a report characterizing Schurr's use of deadly force as unnecessary.

Their input was so controversial in the courtroom the defense called for a mistrial just after the last prosecution witness left the stand stating the officers who testified weren't experts in Grand Rapids policies. Judge Mims quickly denied the request and the trial continued.

The defense countered with testimony on Grand Rapids police procedures from Captain David Siver who said he felt Schurr's pursuit of Lyoya was reasonable, pointing out moments in the footage of the shooting that he called warning signs in Lyoya's interactions with Schurr.

"Hindsight 20/20 can't be used in evaluating use of force, right? The comfort of your desk or your office or couch as you're watching that video," Siver said.

Day Four

The defense gave their first full day of testimony in the fourth day of Schurr's trial.

Thursday, two Grand Rapids police captains took to the stand to make it clear they felt Schurr's actions were justified.

They explained different levels of force police can use, from lower-level options such as pepper spray, to intermediate methods such as using tasers, and finally firearms.

The defense later brought up an expert on exhaustion, Lon Bartel, to look at Schurr and Lyoya’s struggle after Lyoya ran from an attempted arrest.

According to Bartel, his analysis was that the fight left Schurr completely exhausted with little option other than deadly force.

The two sides also discussed the deadliness of tasers, with one of the defense’s medical experts explaining the ways tasers can blind or kill if used on sensitive areas.

Day Five

Schurr's family was in the courtroom as he took the stand held up his right hand, swore to tell the truth and took the jury moment by moment through April 4, 2022.

According to Schurr, he was alarmed when Lyoya exited his car, and even more so when he disobeyed his commands to get back in.

When Lyoya ran from him, Schurr told jurors he was pushed away and found himself unable to get control of him.

He testified he moved to his taser after knee strikes were ineffective. That’s when he said Lyoya grabbed his taser, with his thumb eventually blocking the safety switch.

According to Schurr, that's when he shot Lyoya, believing that if he hadn't done it at that time, he was going to die.

Day Six

Both sides of an ex-officer's murder trial finished their closing arguments Monday, including a rebuttal from the prosecution, and the jury has been sent to decide their verdict.

Schurr is charged with second-degree murder in the April 2022 shooting death of Patrick Lyoya. If convicted, Schurr could face up to life in prison with the possibility of parole.

The jury is also considering a lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter. Prior to closing statements, the defense objected to this addition, however, Judge Mims overruled.

Becker began by saying that Lyoya was a real man who was killed, not just a person on a TV screen. He brought up Lyoya and Schurr had never entered into a "fight" as the defense said, rather, a "wrestling match" that never resulted in Lyoya making any attack-oriented advances towards Schurr during their struggle.

Matthew Borgula, an attorney on Schurr's defense team, followed with his closing statements, claiming the prosecution "failed miserably" at doing their job and continued that Schurr followed protocol and reasonably feared for his life.

After closing arguments, the jury deliberated for approximately 5 hours before adjourning for the day without reaching a verdict.

Day Seven

The jury wrapped their second day of deliberations Tuesday evening without delivering a verdict in the murder trial against ex-Michigan police officer Christopher Schurr.

Judge Mims brought them back to the courtroom around 3:15 p.m. for further instructions about a deadlock jury situation after they were "unable to reach a decision," prompting the defense to call for another mistrial.

The motion was denied and the jury was instructed to continue trying to reach a verdict. Mims told them they have a duty to reach an agreement with their fellow jurors if they are able to do so without violating their own judgement.

Day Eight

The jury in the resumed their third day of deliberations Wednesday morning.

After a full day of discussion, no decision was made and they went home around 4:45 p.m.
