A prosecutor on Monday urged a jury to convict a Minnesota police officer of manslaughter for shooting a black motorist during a traffic stop, arguing that the officer never saw the man's gun and could have stopped short of shooting even if he had. Yanez, 29, testified Friday that he clearly saw Castile's gun and that Castile disregarded his commands not to pull it out. He also cited testimony from first responders of Castile's gun falling out of his pocket as he was loaded onto a backboard. The officer might have heard Castile say he was just trying to get his wallet, Paulsen said. Yanez testified Friday that he meant that he didn't know where the gun was "up until I saw it in his right thigh area."
