Criminal Defense Attorney talks Murder and Manslaughter on WCCO
Former Police Officer Mohamed Noor will appear before Hennepin County Judge Kathryn Quaintance to be re-sentenced today from a 2019 murder conviction. He was originally convicted on 3rd both degree murder and manslaughter. However, the 3rd degree murder conviction was overturned by the Minnesota Supreme court after the Court determined that the 3rd degree charge simply didn’t apply in this case. As a result, rather than the 12 1/2 year sentence that he received, it is expected that Noor will receive somewhere between 41-57 months. He has already served 29 months and could actually walk out of the courtroom a free man today.

Criminal Defense Attorney Jack Rice Talks Murder and Self Defense in the Wake of St. Paul Shootings
A man is facing one count of 2nd degree murder and eleven counts of attempted murder while another is facing 12 counts of attempted murder. With one dead and fourteen injured including 2 alleged shooters in a bar on 7th in St. Paul, people in this city are trying to figure out why this is happening here and what might come next.
St. Paul Criminal Defense Attorney Jack Rice appears on AM 950 in Minneapolis to discuss this latest shooting, how the police investigate it and how this case may very well be prosecuted.
Self defense may really come into play in this case. If somebody is shooting at you, simply defending yourself comes down to intent.
Bail has been set at $10 million each so it is expected that neither of these men are going anywhere soon. According to reports, one of the men shot somebody and then turned on another and shot at him before he fired back. Of course, this raises to question of self defense and defense of others. While it may seem simple, this may get more complicated.
Handling cases involving shootings requires an experienced criminal defense attorney. There is always the questions of self defense as well as defense of others. A big part of defending murder and attempted murder cases has to do with intent.

Jack talks ballistics and crime scenes on WCCO in wake of St. Paul shooting that kills 1, injures 14.
It was a really tough weekend in St. Paul. A gun battle erupted inside of the Truck Park Bar on 7th just down the street from Excel Energy Center. As a result, a 27 year old woman is dead and 14 people were shot and taken to the hospital. Three of those in hospital are possible suspects. The St. Paul Police Department moved in quickly but what exactly do they do after the fact?
As an experienced criminal defense attorney with expertise in criminal forensics, Jack knows how it can impact a criminal case.
According to reports, there were victims in the street, on the sidewalk and inside the bar. A police spokesman mentioned that there was only “evidence inside the bar of the shootings.” When this was reported, I immediately thought about a couple of conclusions including that this wasn’t a drive-by but then I started thinking about crime scene control, getting videotapes including possible phones, interviews and on and on.. As a former prosecutor and former federal agent as well as criminal defense attorney, I frequently have to assess police conduct and policies in the context of defending those charged with crimes.
As I think about a crime scene involving guns, one simple example is how to deal with shell casings and specifically what the police would do. It is not just about cleaning them up. They are counting the number of shots, determining the kinds of rounds that many have been fired, digging them out of walls and cars, the types of weapons used, the number of weapons used and may, although hard to do, grab partial prints on those shell casings. This is just one of multiple steps that the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and the police themselves would be involved in doing at this early stage.
