According to the LV Sun, none of the witnesses stated that Scott was ordered to reach for his pistol. We are told that officer Mosher (and only that one officer) is heard on the 911 recording first ordering Scott to show his hands. Witnesses confirm this. He is then heard saying "drop it!", not, "Hand me the gun", or any other words to that effect. Today's witnesses also state that Scott was not complying with the order to show his hands, did reach for the pistol, did produce it, and did point it directly at Mosher, and also recall hearing Mosher yell at Scott not to touch it.
The family lawyer has contended that the words "drop it" were a command to reach for the pistol in order to surrender it to Mosher, but that statement is contradicted by today's testimony.
Per the witnesses, the sequence was "show your hands": no reaction from Scott. Scott then reaches for pistol, Mosher yells "Drop it!". Scott points pistol, in (what later turns out to be in what looks like an Uncle Mike's IWB holster) at Mosher, who then opens fire. Unclear is when the command "get on the ground!" is given, at least from the newspaper account.
There's more testimony tomorrow.
