The University of Cincinnati fired Ray Tensing after his indictment on murder and voluntary manslaughter charges in the July 2015 death of Sam DuBose. Jurors began hearing testimony Nov. 1. The defense rested Tuesday after Tensing testified he feared for his life during the traffic stop.
An expert defense witness testified that an analysis of Tensing's body cam video shows the officer was justified in fearing for his life because his body was "violently twisted" during the confrontation.
A prosecution witness earlier used an analysis of the same video to contradict the officer's statement he was being dragged by DuBose's vehicle.

The University of Cincinnati fired Ray Tensing after his indictment on charges of murder and voluntary manslaughter in the July 2015 death of Sam DuBose.
The defense rested Tuesday following testimony by Tensing that he feared for his life during the traffic stop.
An expert defense witness testified that a frame-by-frame analysis of Tensing's body camera video shows the officer was justified in fearing for his life because his body was "violently twisted" during the confrontation.
A prosecution witness last week used an analysis of the same video to contradict the former officer's statement that he was being dragged by DuBose's vehicle.
