Prosecutor Jens Grothe defended patrolmen who stopped the car involved in the March 24 crash that killed Mechanicsville businessman Krumroy, urging the jury to show that drivers cannot ignore signals. The case followed a prior not guilty verdict on a reckless driving charge. Continued details referenced in pagination.
