Trial Video Reveals Emotional Moments After Tragic Incident Involving Marc Ward and Daniel Bourne

During the trial, jurors saw a video Bourne recorded just before he died. The video shows the moments after Bourne was hit by the truck, which was a very emotional and difficult scene for everyone involved. Despite Marc Ward’s lawyers saying the death was accidental, prosecutors argued that Marc Ward meant to do it because he accelerated and then turned around to hit Bourne again. Bourne had served in the military and was a retired Bernalillo County Fire Rescue Battalion commander. District Attorney Sam Bregman praised Bourne’s contributions as a husband and father.
