Prosecution forensic video expert Grant Fredericks showed a frame-by-frame breakdown of Tensing's body camera video that DuBose wasn't dragged. DuBose's car appeared to only slightly move forward before the shot. Tensing pointed his gun at DuBose's head before the car moved.

Police use of force expert Scot Haug testified Tensing's use of force was "unreasonable" in the "unjustified" shooting. He also said he found nothing to indicate Tensing was dragged and his decision to lunge into the car to knock out the key was technically unsound.

James Scanlon, a police training expert with more than three decades experience as a police officer, testified for the defense. He also showed Tensing's body cam video frame-by-frame and noted it showed DuBose presented several "threat indicators" with his conduct. DuBose took off and turned left into Tensing. Scanlon said he would use his duty weapon in the same situation.
