Yassar Yaqub, 28, was shot and killed by armed police in 2017
On Thursday, V39 was cross examined by Michael Mansfield KC, representing Mr Yaqub’s family.
The jury was shown a photograph taken from inside the Audi Mr Yaqub was in, with bullet holes in the front windscreen.Mr Mansfield said: “It’s quite clear if someone is bent down, crouches and leans towards his right if that’s what he did, he is going below the ‘mound’ on the dashboard.“If he was in that position he wouldn’t have received the wounds he did, would he?Another photograph showed a forensic officer sitting upright in the passenger seat of the Audi.
Mr Mansfield said: “You can see where the penetrative holes are imaged on this particular person’s clothing and the trajectory of his arms raised.
V39 was the passenger in one of the four police vehicles that followed Mr Yaqub and his associates from Akbar’s Cafe in Bradford on the M62 towards Huddersfield before stopping them at the junction known as Ainley Top.
