George Floyd Court Hearing

So I got up today to hear that there is a hearing going on about George Floyd, I don't know who this judge is but he sounds incompetent.

I live about 20 minutes from Minneapolis and debating right now if I should be heading down to the courthouse.

Things that are bothering me is that the judge has ruled that previous arrest and criminal charges CANNOT be used as evidence. Then after the attorneys for the officers mentioned that they had to move out of their homes because of attacks and threats, asked that the jurors identities be protected, he denied it.

This Judge sounds like a social media justice advocate. You can bet that if you don't vote correctly, you will pay. Foresight into our election?

(First thread. Not sure if I'm doing it right, source is our local news. Not sure why it won't work. Might just delete this)

Relax rookie

You are doing a good job!

So in 2019 GF had a similar run in with the police in which he swallowed drugs, OD'd, and had to be hospitalized. Exactly like what led to his death this year.

Why is this just coming out now?

Why didn't this come out immediately when the riots started?

Thanks, I'm kind of struggling in figuring how to link properly. I'm using mobile, so I'm guessing that's what's causing me problems. Might have to go to my desktop to edit

Not protecting Juror identities is idiotic. Not using past actions is normal. They can't use Floyds previous actions to justify what happened and at the same time can't use the police officers previous conduct as evidence against him.

And why has the judge order that information is illegitimate to use in the hearing?

This is turning volatile, people are gathering outside. Either fires or a lynching is happening tonight.

You say this thinking that's something unusual. Unless the previous cases are directly related then they cannot be used as evidence.

Right?

But Chauvin's past information is allowed.

Am I wrong for thinking past drug charges could affect further interactions and that the cops should have been prepared for drugs?

I mean, I get what you're saying, but if this was just police brutality it wouldn't fit in. But if he had drugs in his system in the autopsy and he had previous charges with same substances, wouldn't he have been willingly endangering himself to a degree?

I'm not trying to start anything, just getting the message out. If someone with more experience wants to make a thread covering this, I'll gladly be for removing mine.

Those are inadmissible for the court proceedings unless one or more of those officers were involved and even then it would be of more use to the prosecution. The case is what happened that day.

So they all- the officers involved, and Floyd, got to that case, that day, in a vacuum? It seems at least a little silly to not take into consideration past interactions they had. Also, is it true that a poster above mentioned, that Chauvin’s past actions are being allowed to be brought in? If so, why not Floyd’s?

What a mess.

I just said, twice as a matter of fact, that if they did have past interactions involving criminality that they would most likely be admissible. What I'm thinking the judge struck down, since the Original Post is light on detail, is that the defense just wants to introduce Floyd's past unrelated behavior.

That’s not exactly what you said, Grumpy Grandpa, once much less twice. Be clearer for us dummies out here.

Sooooo not clear:

Unless the previous cases are directly related then they cannot be used as evidence.

Who would I be referring to if not the officers vis a vis Floyd? Does XX chromosomes = logic is not my forte?

As of 7 pm Central time KARE 11 seems to have a combined thread HERE..

It could be they are changing the thread address as they update it.
