Today, on February 3 2024, there was an amazing county trial. The defense team from First Baptist Christian Academy were defending Alex Greene, a police officer for the city of Mustang. The case is about a police officer who shot a woman in her home because he thought she was a burglar. Xavier Sazarez and Grace Hargraves are the defense attorney’s for Alex Greene. They are defending Greene’s word of shooting the woman in self defense because the woman he shot had a gun and therefore they believe that Greene is not guilty. The witnesses for the defense are Alex Greene , played by Chloe Frazier, Bellany Frey, played by Haley Hillhouse,
and Ferrin Glass, played by Steven Richards. Alex Greene is related to this trial because he is the defendant obviously. Ferris Glass is a witness because she was the neighbor of Kamari (the lady that was shot) and is the one who made the police call because her house looked off. She said it was off because the front door was wide open and the lights were off. Bellany Frey is a witness because she is an expert in police use of force. She compared Alex’s actions to the studies done
observing the use of force. She decided that Alex is reasonable and acted correctly. The case went back and forth and many good points were made by both sides. The strongest point of the prosecution was that he did not follow police protocol and shot her even though he was not sure of who she was. The strongest point made by the defense was that from his perspective he just saw a gun pointed at him and was shooting at self defense. The sides for most of the trial were
neck and neck. But at the end of the day there was a lack of evidence on the defense side of the trial to prove that he was guilty. The main reason he was found guilty was because he did not follow the proper police protocol and shot her without knowing who she was.
