As the trial enters its third week on Monday, a decision about whether Officer Jason Van Dyke will testify looms. The presiding judge could ask the 40-year-old Van Dyke in the coming week for a definitive answer. Van Dyke continues to fire shot after shot for at least 10 seconds after the teen crumples to the ground. Prosecutors may hope Van Dyke does testify, confident they'll be able to shred his credibility during cross-examination. If he does testify, legal experts say, Van Dyke would need to stay calm under questioning by prosecutors.
