What was the cause of death in this case?

It is my opinion that this is the wound that caused Lacan to die so rapidly.

Today inside the courthouse, jurors saw pictures yet again of Lacquon McDonald's body after he died.

He was alive if you say that he had a heartbeat,

but the heart can actually continue to beat for a while

when somebody's dead.

So it depends on what you look at the definition of

death. As jurors looked at close up after close up of gunshot wounds. Outside

the courthouse, clergy from across the city hoisted across in the air, riddled with 16 holes. So as we gather around we're reminded that Jesus body was broken and we have been talking

about broken bodies. Yes.

Jason Van Dyke has said he is a religious man, Catholic. And a few times during the trial, Reverend Edward Cronin

and sister Maria Paulina Sterling have sat with his family.

They're from Van Dyke's home parish, St. Jane Deshantal, about four miles from the shooting scene.

This afternoon, they addressed reporters in the courthouse

for the first time about the case. I know this man personally, so does sister.

This man is not a murderer.

God's mercy is for everyone and it's really tragic what happened and it shouldn't have happened but it wasn't a murder.

From W.B. E.Z. Chicago, and the Chicago Tribune, this is 16 Shots, the police shooting of Lacan

McDonald.
