“I had such an amazing experience competing in the National Trial Competition. I couldn’t have asked for a better group to spend months preparing with than Sara, Conner, Jessie, and our coach Robert Little. I feel honored to have been able to compete alongside Sara, and I am so proud of what we were able to accomplish and thankful for the friendship we formed along the way. Thanks to Robert and his guidance this past year, we went into the competition confident and prepared to compete against the best advocates in the country. Because of Baylor Law and the advocacy program, I am leaving law school confident in my abilities and excited for my career as a Baylor Lawyer.”

Some have suggested that a different type of training for officers could lead to a non-lethal outcome in such cases, including de-escalation techniques or the use of a Taser.
But Stoughton said the incident appeared to unfold too quickly for the officer, Nicholas Reardon, to employ anything other than deadly force against the knife-wielding teenager.

The video shows Bryant, with a knife in hand, charging at one female who falls backward onto the ground at Reardon s feet, then turning and pursuing another female, pinning her to a car parked in the driveway. Bryant appears to swing the knife toward the young woman s upper body, prompting Reardon to fire what sounds like four shots.
