Adam Coy Murder Trial Continues This Week

The trial of former Columbus police officer Adam Coy continues as he faces charges of murder, felonious assault, and reckless homicide for the December 2020 shooting of unarmed Black man Andre Hill. The prosecution has presented six witnesses, including a special agent and the doctor who performed Hill's autopsy, while Coy is expected to testify in his defense. Testimony revealed that Coy yelled 'Gun, gun, he has a gun' before shooting Hill, who was holding a key ring that Coy mistook for a firearm. The trial, now in its second week, has seen discussions about the events leading up to the shooting, including Hill's interactions with Coy and police presence. Both sides are preparing to call more witnesses, including use-of-force experts. The court proceedings are being closely monitored, with live updates provided to the public.
