"The gun won't be introduced as evidence," said Miami-Dade Public Defender Yanelis Zamora. "That gun had to have been taken out of there... It was removed from the scene before police officers even arrived."
Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle called the cyclist's death "tragic," and a "senseless shooting" and she warned that her office wouldn't tolerate the gun violence.
Piedrahita's attorney warned jurors that it's what they won't see on any videos during the trial that proves her client's innocence - a gun that Palencia pointed at Piedrahita before the cyclist was killed.
"He [Piedrahita] did the only thing he could at that point," said Zamora, emphasizing the self-defense claim as vital to the case.
