Assistant prosecutor Matthew Penney acts like he's pulling the trigger of a taser as he faces the jury during his opening statement Tuesday, Oct, 23, 2018, in Detroit, Mich., during the trial of former Michigan state trooper Mark Bessner.

Trial opened Tuesday for Bessner, who is charged with second-degree murder in the death of 15-year-old Damon Grimes. (Todd McInturf /Detroit News via AP)
