Key witnesses in Derrick Thompson crash trial on day 4.
On Tuesday, the trial of Derrick Thompson continued with the testimony of witnesses, including Sundus Odhowa who fondly described her sister Siham Odhowa as a bright presence in their family. A forensic scientist from Hennepin County's crime lab also provided evidence related to the crash. Meanwhile, in previous court sessions, a Minneapolis police officer shared body camera footage showing Thompson at the crash scene, where he denied involvement despite witnesses' statements. The trial also heard emotional testimonies from family members of the victims. Thompson, facing charges for the crash, is putting forth a defense stating that his brother, not he, was the one driving the vehicle. Additionally, it was mentioned that Thompson has a federal drug-related conviction related to the incident. WCCO is closely following the trial proceedings and will provide updates.
