FILE – This May 16, 2016 file photo shows former Mesa, Ariz., Police Officer Philip Brailsford in Maricopa County Superior Court during a hearing. Brailsford goes on trial the week of Oct. 23, 2017, on a murder charge in the January 2016 shooting death of Daniel Shaver of Granbury, Texas, at a hotel in Mesa. Brailsford has said he shot Shaver because he believed Shaver was reaching for a gun during a tense encounter outside his hotel room. Prosecutors say no gun was found on Shaver’s body and maintain the on-duty shooting wasn’t justified. (Tom Tingle/The Arizona Republic via AP, Pool, File)
