Judge issues gag order in George Floyd case after attorneys for officers charged gave interviews

The judge overseeing the trial of four ex-Minneapolis police officers charged in the death of George Floyd issued a gag order prohibiting any public discussion by those working on the case.

Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill's Thursday order bars attorneys and others in the case from sharing "opinions, strategies, plans, or potential evidence," according to the Star Tribune.

The Minneapolis paper also noted that the order came one day after an attorney spoke to its reporters about a motion filed to dismiss charges against one of the officers involved in the case. The judge added that two or more of the attorneys representing parties in the case have spoken to the media.

“The court finds that continuing pretrial publicity in this case by the attorneys involved will increase the risk of tainting a potential jury pool and will impair all parties’ right to a fair trial,” Cahill wrote.

"Correct" ruling, but for the wrong reason and weeks too late. Is there a city in North America south of Nunavut where the potential jury pool wasn't poisoned weeks ago?

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Nunavut

I had to look that up!  I had no idea they seceded from the Northwest Territories!
