About
Anthony Grassi testified for the prosecution on Day 32 about his response to Officer Sean Collier's shooting scene. The Cambridge police detective described finding three empty shell casings behind the cruiser and marking them for collection by someone else. He also identified a fourth casing on Collier's hat inside the cruiser, a bullet fragment, microphone damage, and blood.
Grassi corrected an initial report that Collier's gun was missing, explaining that another officer later told him it was secured in an MIT cruiser. He authenticated photographs connecting his observations to the evidence markers. Two groups of photographs were admitted without objection. He distinguished his own placards from circles and a ruler he had not added.
Grassi also described the secured perimeter and officers' unsuccessful search for witnesses in the Stata building. He said the evidence remained where he had left it when he returned. Defense counsel asked no questions.
