A kinetics expert says Tamir Rice had his hands in his pockets when he was shot and was not reaching for his toy gun, flatly contradicting what experts hired by the prosecutor's office have found. The new report comes from attorneys representing the Rice family in a civil lawsuit.

An expert in biomechanics and kinetics has determined that Tamir Rice's hands were in his pockets and never came out of them when he was shot by Cleveland police officer Timothy Loehmann last December.

The expert also found that Tamir's toy gun was not visible to either Loehmann or his partner, Frank Garmback, and Loehmann shot Tamir less than a second after exiting the patrol car, not the 1.7 seconds that other experts have found.

Jesse L. Wobrock, an expert hired by attorneys representing Tamir's family in a civil lawsuit, formed his conclusions after studying enhanced video released last week by Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty. Subodh Chandra, a Cleveland-attorney on the Rice's legal team, released Wobrock's report late Friday night along with updated reports by two other experts, who also studied the enhanced video and maintain their original positions that the shooting of Tamir was not justifiable.

Wobrock found that in the split second before the shooting, Tamir raised his right hand - while still in his jacket pocket -in a defensive posture. As confirmation, Wobrock noted that the bullet hole in Tamir's jacket was well below the wound in his chest, because the jacket was hiked up as Tamir raised his hand in defense.

The conclusions contradict those offered by the prosecution when the enhanced video was released. The video was released as a series of individual frames, with notes on some of the frames. Those notes say Tamir's hands were in front of his stomach as the police car approached. They say Tamir moved his right arm toward his waist, then lifted his right shoulder and arm before he was shot.

The notes released by the prosecutor supported arguments made by three experts hired by the McGinty's office, who found that it was reasonable for Loehmann to believe that Tamir was armed with and reaching for a gun.

Wobrock says in his report that Tamir did not lower his arm to his waist but did ultimately raise his shoulder and arm in a "defensive-type movement."

Because Lehmann fired one second after leaping from the car, Wobrock concludes, Loehmann had to have unholstered his gun before leaving the car because one second is not enough time to draw the gun and fire it.

"Based on the timing of this event, Tamir Rice did not have enough time to perceive and react to any verbal commands, which is exemplified by the fact this his right hand was still in his jacket pocket at the time he was shot," the report says.

Chandra has provided expert reports at the invitation of McGinty, who has said he will present them to the grand jury considering whether to bring an indictment in the shooting of Tamir.

More details of the new report will be posted soon.
