<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Jalali&#8217;s lawyer, Anna Geigle, said Loveland police and another department let her stay on the job despite a pattern of poor performance recorded in her personnel files. A neuropsychological evaluation showed Jalali did not have the &#8216;psychological makeup&#8217; to act with the precision and awareness expected of police officers, she said.<br>Lehman said Jalali should have known Garner was a &#8216;delicate&#8217; woman suffering from a mental health issue: &#8216;She just sounds out of it and terrified to me,&#8217; he said after watching body camera footage from the arrest for the first time in court, adding, &#8216;The fact that two law enforcement officers couldn´t comprehend that is incomprehensible to me.&#8217;<br>Garner&#8217;s son, John Steward, told the judge Jalali had no idea of the stress, pain and sadness the arrest has caused his family. <br>&#8216;We all have choices to make in life, and all our choices have consequences,&#8217; he said. &#8216;I ask that justice be served for my mom today.&#8217;</p>
