Patrick Lyoya & America's Broken Probable Cause Standard

Yesterday a MI trial judge ruled that probable cause existed to bring Police Officer Christopher Schurr to trial on a charge of second-degree murder in the shooting death of violently non-compliant suspect Patrick Lyoya. Lyoya was shot and killed by Officer Schurr while the two men fought over control of the officer's Taser following Lyoya's lawful traffic stop.

We'll cover that entire probable cause finding by the judge during the public portion of today's show, in particular discussing what I consider to be America's broken probable cause standard for dragging citizens into criminal trials. Then during the LOSD Members-only portion of the show we'll apply that analysis to the actual video of the Lyoya stop and shooting.

FAIR WARNING: That video includes the actual shooting death of Lyoya, but again we'll cover that only in the LOSD Members portion of today's show.
