Day Two: Procedure followed even though involving death of an officer

UPD Officers, and family of Thomas Lindsey have all returned from recess and are filing into their seats.

Officer Nitti remains on the stand as Defense cross-examines him. Defense brings out the aerial photo of Neilson Street used earlier, and asks him to point out which houses on Neilson Street are which.

She brings up the "straight line" from the house to where Officer Lindsey's vehicle was. He points out 1120 Neilson, and the angle which looks up toward the front of where Lindsey and his vehicle were.

She asks him if was involved in the tow of the Dodge Neon from John Street to UPD. He says he was not directly involved in that, but was told about it.

Car 57, Lindsey's car, was also towed to heandquarters of UPD, Nitti said, but says he was not present for it. Nitti says that nothing different was done procedure-wise in the handling of the cars, even though the case involved the death of a police officer.
