The state called the first expert, a forensic video analyst named Grant Fredericks. The defense began cross-examination Wednesday afternoon.
Manuel Ellis' mother and sister are expected to be the next people to testify in the trial of three Tacoma police officers accused of causing Ellis' death.
Ellis' mother, Marcia Carter-Patterson, had spoken with him via a FaceTime call the night he died. Carter-Patterson said Ellis was excited and happy about going to church and was telling her about his plans for the future. His sister, Monet Carter-Mixon, overheard the call and remembered both her mother and Ellis laughing before the conversation ended.
To begin testimony Thursday, the defense is expected to complete their cross-examination of a forensic video expert called by the state. On Wednesday the expert, Grant Fredericks, went frame-by-frame through a video of the confrontation between police and Ellis that was shot by a bystander. Fredericks tracked the position of Ellis' hands as he was seemingly brought to the ground and put into a neck restraint by Collins, then Tased by Burbank.
At the beginning of Wednesday's cross-examination, the defense began to question what was seen in the videos presented by Fredericks. In-home surveillance footage that was also submitted into evidence by the state, the defense pointed out that it does not actually show the police officers arriving at the scene.
