Minnesota Criminal Defense Attorney Does Local and National Media Coverage of George Floyd Trial - Jack Rice

The Derek Chauvin trial (George Floyd) is ramping up here in Minneapolis and local and State official are already ramping up security with an expected 1100 police officers backed up by more than 2000 National Guard. There will certainly be protests but the concern is differentiating between the peaceful & violent. At the same time, consider protestor treatment here versus at the US Capitol. That is clearly also a concern. At the same time, imagine trying to pick a jury amidst the barricades and police and chants for justice. The Chauvin trial is scheduled to begin on March 8th. As a former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney, I’ll be doing a lot of media analysis locally and across the country. Buckle up. It’s going to get bumpy.
