The prosecutor said: “The body-worn footage and footage from cameras on police vehicles reveals, we say, that it was not necessary to shoot.
“The immediate risk to both the defendant and his fellow officers at the scene did not, we say, justify at the point when the trigger was pulled, firing a bullet into the vehicle that Chris Kaba was driving.
“That is why, we say, that this is a case of murder rather than the use of lawful self-defence or lawful defence of another by the defendant.”
At the point Mr Blake shot Mr Kaba in the head, the vehicle he was in was stationary, jurors heard.
