Dr. Wilson Hayes leads an expert witness consulting firm in Oregon. Hayes spent Tuesday analyzing the trajectories of the bullets that hit Michael Ramos.
The defense kicked off the day of testimony cross-examining Cpl. Michael Decker with the Austin Police Department.
Decker has expertise in"high-risk" traffic stops. The defense asked him to outline what those entail while playing a video of the encounter that took place between officers and Michael Ramos, who Taylor is accused of killing. The defense asked Decker to give feedback on officers' interactions with Ramos.
Another witness the state brought up is Dr. Wilson Hayes who specializes in biomechanics and leads an expert witness consulting firm in Oregon. He analyzed the trajectories of the bullets that hit Ramos. The state asked Hayes if he believed Ramos presented an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injuries to Taylor, the officers, or any members of the public.
"I believe that as a consequence of the above analyses, that Mr. Ramos or his vehicle did not at any time present an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury to Christopher Taylor, other officers or members of the public," Hayes said.Christopher Taylor's statement read in court on Day 5 of testimonyThroughout his time in the courtroom, Hayes reinforced that he is not afraid to stand behind his work as a highly accurate exercise by multiple people.
