• Harrity said he views every police call as a threat "until it's no longer a threat anymore."
• Body camera footage from both Harrity and Noor was played in court, depicting their futile efforts to save Damond's life.
• The prosecution was critical of the amount of time — 1 minute and 56 seconds — Harrity and Noor dedicated to investigating Damond's call about a possible sexual assault behind her house.
• Harrity testified that he was on alert as they drove down Damond's alley, and that he was scared for his life when he heard a "thump" on their squad along with a "murmur," and saw a silhouette appear outside his open window.
• Harrity said he "loved" working with Noor, and expected him to have his back every day.
