TL;DR

The trial has begun for Othal Wallace, the man accused of shooting and killing Daytona Beach police officer Jason Raynor over two years ago. Wallace is charged with first-degree murder and the state is seeking the death penalty. The defense claims the shooting was in self-defense, while the prosecution argues that Raynor approached the car carefully. Wallace was found hiding in a treehouse in Georgia after a nationwide manhunt. The trial has been moved to Clay County due to the case's high-profile nature in Volusia County.
