It seems that there’s an update regarding the case of late George Floyd. The Shade Room has more details about all this, and you can check out the new info below.
TSR notes that ‘a Minnesota judge who is overseeing the trial of the four former Minneapolis police officers who were involved in the killing of George Floyd has ruled today that all four men will stand trial together. The legal case would also, in fact, remain in Minneapolis.’
According to the official notes, ‘Hennepin County District Judge Peter A. Cahill decided on the trial after the officers’ legal teams requested they undergo separate trials months earlier in September at a hearing. The lawyers representing — Derek Chauvin, Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng, and Thomas Lane — argued that their clients might get a fairer trial if they were done separately outside of Hennepin County, according to @foxnews and @apnews.’

Someone else said: ‘This can be a bad thing, it’s easier for them to prove 1 or maybe 2 guilty with certain evidence but to prove all 4 guilty they can manipulate the evidence and the charges which can lead to a not guilty verdict. I wish ppl understood the system more everything you perceive as “good news” isn’t always “good news”‘
