Are Cameras in the Courtroom a Good Idea? Jack Appears on WCCO to Discuss.
If somebody is charged with a crime, shouldn’t the public be allowed to watch the proceedings? Well, the 6th Amendment of the Constitution says yes. So, does the Supreme Court. In the past, that has meant, people and the written press. However, in some places, it hasn’t meant TV cameras. Chauvin may have changed that here. However, is it a good idea?
A Minnesota Judge rejected media requests to televise hearings in the Daunte Wright case involving former officer Kim Potter. As of now, her lawyers rejected the request and that was enough to stop it. Well, that could change.
I appear on WCCO with Adam Carter to discuss the court system, transparency and the protection of the Constitutional rights of accused people in criminal court. It is an interesting balance.

The Feds are Charging Chauvin. Now what? Jack Appears on AM 950 to Discuss
Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murder in a Minnesota State courtroom. Now, the Feds have stepped in and charged Derek Chauvin along with several of the other officers with federal criminal charges including excessive force and violating the civil rights of George Floyd. Chauvin also faces separate federal charges for a 2017 incident involving a similar restraint against a 14 year old boy.
While it has pretty rare for the Feds to come in in cases like these, it does happen. It happened in the Rodney King case back in 1991. It happened in Charlottesville, VA where a bunch of white supremacists were gathering and a woman was killed a couple of years ago. It has happened in other places. To be successful at trial, the Feds must prove that Chauvin acted willfully to deprive Floyd of his civil rights and that the use of force was Constitutionally unreasonable.
Jack will appear on Matt McNeil on AM 950 to discuss this, the aftermath of the Chauvin trial, and what is to come in the next trials. Should be fun.
