• The Minneapolis Police Department head of homicide, Lt. Richard Zimmerman, said he was baffled when he arrived to the scene and didn't see a weapon near Justine Ruszczyk Damond's body.
• He testified that Sgt. Shannon Barnette, Mohamed Noor's supervisor, told him that Damond was "probably a drunk or a drug addict." Tests revealed there were no drugs or alcohol in Damond's system.
• Jurors saw body camera videos recorded by Minneapolis police officers Scott Aikins and his partner, Jesse Lopez. Throughout Aikins' video, officers were still unclear on what had happened.
• Three officers testified that there was enough light at the scene to see people and objects.
