A white University of Cincinnati police officer was wearing a Confederate flag T-shirt under his uniform when he fatally shot an unarmed black man last year.
The black T-shirt with the flag and the words "Great Smoky Mountains" was presented during a crime scene technician's testimony Friday at the murder trial of Ray Tensing, who has since been fired.
Sam DuBose was killed in July of last year during a traffic stop just outside of campus. He was shot in the head.
A use-of-force expert testified Friday that DuBose was not a threat to the officer, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Scot Haug said Tensing's move to reach into DuBose's car to "knock out" the ignition key "was technically unsound," according to the newspaper.
