New York, NY —
The court got its first unsettling glimpse inside of Sean Bell's car as it looked after the shooting.
The photos were taken after Bell and his friends were removed from the Nissan Altima. They show large blood stains all over the front passenger seat, as well as cell phones and a set of keys left behind in the mess.
Detective David Rivera was the initial crime scene investigator and is exhaustively going through all of the evidence for the court, that includes the estimated trajectory of every bullet shot that night. Not only into Bell's car but into surrounding houses and cars as well. Some photos provide close ups of Trent Benefield's clothes, including his jeans which clearly bear five bullet holes.
Detective Rivera's testimony continues all day. Reporting from the Queens Criminal Courthouse, I'm Arun Venugopal.
