.40-caliber pistol fired bullets that killed Sade Dixon, gun expert says

Oct 12, 2019

"ORLANDO, Fla. - A gun expert said the .40-caliber pistol Markeith Loyd threw out of the house where he was captured fired the bullets that killed Sade Dixon and Orlando police Lt. Debra Clayton.

The gun expert was the last witness during a special Saturday court session.....

Saturday was the day Loyd and his lawyers hoped to avoid. When details from the case involving the police officer came out, they objected to a series of witnesses who were there when Clayton died....

In the midst of it all, one of the jurors was dismissed from the case. She was accused of lying about working at Publix and failed to admit she had been arrested in the past.

Court resumes Monday morning."

There's an extended back and forth as to the 2 counts of attempted murder for Stephanie Dixon Daniels and Dominique Daniels. It comes down to whether there's sufficient evidence that Loyd continued to shoot at targets other than Sade Dixon and Ron Stewart, Jr. #WFTV #MarkeithLoyd

Judge Marques returns and denies the JoA for the final two counts: “I think this is correct that, circumstantially, the jury could conclude that Mr. Loyd raising his hand and firing two shots constituted attempted murder.” #WFTV #MarkeithLoyd

The defense team for #MarkeithLoyd asks for an acquittal for various reasons. They feel the state failed to meet their burden of proof. Judge has just ruled that the state has met the burden of proof and denied all motions made by the defense. #News13Orange @MyNews13
