The prosecution alleges that Officer Martyn Blake's account of the shooting was exaggerated and that the circumstances did not warrant the use of deadly force.
Prosecutor Tom Little KC presented evidence to the jury indicating that the shooting was not reasonably justified, emphasizing that Mr Kaba's car was moving slowly.
Defence barrister Patrick Gibbs KC argued that Officer Blake's response to perceived danger could not be judged with the hindsight of computer-generated precision.
The case hinges on the conflicting narratives of a perceived deadly threat felt by Officer Blake and the prosecution's assertion of unnecessary use of deadly force.
