FILE - In this July 25, 2016, file photo, a memorial including a photo of Philando Castile is attached to the gate to the governor's residence where protesters demonstrated in St. Paul, Minn. Attorneys for Jeronimo Yanez, the Minnesota police officer accused of fatally shooting Castile say Castile's gun was accessible and that he was reaching for it when he was killed. A memo filed Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2017, in Ramsey County District Court contradicts prosecutors' claims that St. Anthony Officer Yanez didn't see the weapon and made conflicting statements about it.
