Trauma Experts Disagree with Judge's Decision on Trauma of Children. During the sentencing hearing for Derek Chauvin, Judge Cahill informed the public that he would publish a 26 page document following the June 25 hearing to explain how he reached his decision of sentencing Chauvin to 22 1/2 years in prison. While many people, including the George Floyd family, did not feel Chauvin's sentence was long enough sentence Attorney General Keith Ellison did not object to the Judge's decision. This week Cahill denied Ellison's request. Trauma experts Resmaa Menakem & Dr. Gabor Mate help us understand why Ellison was pushing to make this change.

Poet and artist Joe Davis has been inspired by the experiences of the past year to co-create the "Radical Joy Sessions," featuring music, dance and storytelling. Davis says radical joy is more powerful than oppression. --Georgia Fort reports:  The trial for three former Minneapolis Police officers charged with the death of George Floyd is being pushed back from this August to March of next year. Judge Cahill said he's postponing the trial because of the high-profile federal indictment announced last week.Poet and artist Joe Davis said the postponement just adds to everything else the community has had to endure this year.“Living in Minnesota after George Floyd I've experienced the grief and rage but I also have experienced the hope,” said Davis.The experiences of the past year inspired Davis to co-create with other artists the “Radical Joy Sessions,” a virtual concert series created to celebrate Black joy and amplify Black voices.“Radical joy is more powerful than oppression. It is a joy that can't be policed,” said Davis. “When I say radical joy I'm talking about an embodiment of a deeply rooted connection to one's culture and identity especially in times of communal grief and collective trauma.”Davis said it's important for people to have space to process their emotions “so we can move with more clarity and so we can create the world that we long to live in, a world of abundance, a word of joy, a world of possibilities.”The next radical joy session is May 15, including music, dance, and storytelling.

With only five days left in the Minnesota legislative session, Governor Tim Walz, democratic representatives and faith leaders are calling on the Republican-led state senate to move with urgency on the police reform bills. Meanwhile, Judge Cahill found four aggravating factors in the death of George Floyd that would justify a tougher sentence for Derek Chauvin.--Samantha HoangLong reports: With only five days left in the Minnesota legislative session, Governor Tim Walz, democratic representatives and faith leaders are calling on the Republican-led state senate to move with urgency on the police reform bills. Representative Cedrick Frazier serves on the public safety conference committee:“The good news is that we have provided several offers to the GOP senate. The bad news is that they have not responded to any of those offers. The bad news is also that they have provided several excuses as to why they have not responded to any of those offers,” said Frasier. “None that prevent them from responding to the pain, the grief and the heartache of community members that have been crying out for years, for decades, to have change and reform, to make the lives of all Minnesotans better.”Frazier says GOP senators invited law enforcement to testify this past Monday.“Fortunately, we have been engaged with law enforcement throughout this session and to have them in the room on Monday saying they largely agree with many of the provisions in the bill that will move us forward - that makes me hopeful and that keeps me hopeful,” said Frasier.Meanwhile, Judge Cahill found four aggravating factors in the death of George Floyd that would justify a tougher sentence for Derek Chauvin.The judge ruled that Chauvin abused his power of authority as a police officer and treated Floyd with particular cruelty. He also noted the presence of children when Chauvin committed the crime, and that three other officers were involved.Based on those findings, the judge could sentence Chauvin up to 40 years, but experts say the most he will likely face is 30 years.Chauvin is currently being held in solitary confinement at the state's maximum security prison in Oak Park Heights. He is scheduled to be sentenced on June 25.

LAL #023 — The Chauvin Appeal and the Federal Prosecution: The Fair Trial Entitlement

Law and Legitimacy

The law is a clear: a defendant is entitled to a fair trial, not a perfect trial.  In the case of Minnesota v. Derek Chauvin, there are good reasons to doubt whether Chauvin received a fair trial. Even the federal government seems to acknowledge that; why else would federal prosecutors bring federal charges before sentence is even imposed? Chauvin's lawyer filed a motion to set aside the verdict this week, asking for more time to fully brief the issues. Among the issues he raises is a significant claim of juror misconduct.  It turns out one juror, Brandon Mitchell, was observed at a rally, smiling, and wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the words: “Get Your Knee Off My Neck,” long before the trial. Mitchell never disclosed this to the court during jury selection. Neither did he disclose his podcasts on the topic. He claimed little knowledge about, or interest in, the case. Maybe he was truthful, in a niggling sort of way; the sort of way Bill Clinton denied having had sex with Monica Lewinsky — fellatio isn't the missionary position after all. Mitchell should never have been seated on the jury. He did tell the court that he would “love” to be part of the case because it was the “most historic” case of his lifetime. Jury Selection 101:  Never sit a juror who wants to be there — they have a mission.  Jurors ought to be reluctant to take on the responsibility, much like a draftee. Beware the juror who wants to serve, they are like enlistees after 9-11; they want to go out and start shooting. There are other issues regarding this trial, including one that should result in reversal on appeal: The trial court refused to record sidebar discussions where evidentiary rulings were debated. This failure results in an incomplete record for appeal. Appellate Courts have reversed simply on the grounds that the trial court failed to make such a record. So why are the feds prosecuting now?  They can't prove a race-based civil rights violation with competent evidence. This was a sad confrontation with tragic consequences. The simple fact is that had Floyd simply shown his hands and answered a few questions, he'd be alive today. Yes, officers may need better training on how to deal with the intoxicated and impaired. But to say the failings in this case amount to a federal case is ridiculous. Even so, perhaps the federal charges with lead Judge Cahill in Minnesota conclude that there would be little harm in setting aside the jury's verdict.  Minnesota wasn't up to the task of providing a fair trial for Derek Chauvin; perhaps the feds can do so. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/norm-pattis/support

Georgia Fort reports: Closing arguments concluded Monday afternoon in the Derek Chauvin trial. Defense attorney Eric Nelson stressed the complicating factors in Floyd's death, including his health, his drug addiction and the distraction of vocal bystanders.Special Prosecutor Jerry Blackwell told the jury to believe what they saw with their own eyes: "You were told that Mr. Floyd died because his heart was too big,” said Blackwell. “And now having seen all the evidence, having heard all the evidence, you know the truth. And the truth of the matter is that the reason George Floyd is dead is because Mr. Chauvin's heart is too small."Following closing statements, Judge Cahill provided the jurors with instructions and they left to begin deliberations. As soon as they were gone, Chauvin's attorney Eric Nelson requested a mistrial. "In rebuttal there were repeated comments about how we were... ‘shading' was one example, that we were creating Halloween stories was another example... that we misrepresented facts and put words into Dr. Baker's mouth," said Nelson.Judge Cahill denied the defense's request. The prosecution stated, if Chauvin is convicted, it will seek an aggravated sentence because of the particular cruelty shown to Floyd.  Jury deliberations broke off at 8 p.m. Monday night and will resume Tuesday morning.Hundreds gathered outside the courthouse, renewing their demands for Justice. “We're on the clock,” said Jaylani Hussein, Executive Director of CAIR Minnesota. “Either we wait until we get a guilty verdict or we stay in the streets until we get justice.”Governor Walz, Mayor Frey and Mayor Carter held a press briefing to say they are trying to create space for protestors while also protecting business owners.

Georgia Fort reports: A request to acquit Derek Chauvin was denied Wednesday morning by Judge Cahill. “The court's duty at this point is to look at the evidence in a light most favorable to the state. Based on that standard, the motion for judgment of acquittal is denied.”Cahill says he expects the trial to wrap up in less than a week, telling jurors they should expect closing arguments on Monday. The decision to not acquit Derek Chauvin comes just three days after another unarmed black man was killed by police.Prosecutors charged former Brooklyn Center police officer Kimberly Potter Wednesday with second-degree manslaughter. Jaylani Hussein, the director of CAIR Minnesota, said it's not enough:“What happened to Daunte Wright wasn't an accident,” said Hussein. “What happened to Daunte Wright was murder. We are tired of this justice system - a system that works for White people, and a system that does not work for People of Color.”The recent shooting of Daunte Wright in combination with the on-going trial  have created a renewed sense of urgency for lawmakers. John Thompson, a friend of Philando Castile and now a House Representative, pushed to suspend normal duties until substantial legislation on police accountability is adopted.“I'm asking this whole body to take a bold move and end all budget negotiations until they say Black Lives Matter here in this state,” said Thompson. “We have bills that are not even being heard in the Senate. Bills that will change the trajectory of our communities.”As protests continue curfews are being determined city by city and assessed day to day.Some of the audio for this story was provided by CAIR Minnesota.

Los Angeles Police Sgt. Jody Stiger took the stand Tuesday afternoon as the State's expert witness on use of force. Having done extensive research on use of force policies nationwide Stiger concluded that Derek Chauvin's use of force on George Floyd was excessive. Stiger said that initially, when Floyd was actively resisting arrest, the officers were justified in using force. “However once he was placed in the prone position on the ground, he slowly ceased his resistance and the ex-officers should have stopped their force as well,” said Stiger.Sgt. Stiger was still being questioned by the state when Judge Cahill abruptly ended court an hour early.Meanwhile, outside of the courtroom, Reverend Al Sharpton held a public prayer followed by remarks from George Floyd's family, including his brother Philonise.“After we get this verdict, and we get this conviction, we'll be able to breathe,” he said.Court is scheduled to resume at 9:30 am Wednesday, however more pretrial hearings are scheduled before court. The Judge has stated he plans to make a ruling on the testimony of George Floyd's friend Morries Hall. Hall has asked to plead the 5th in fear that his testimony could be incriminating. Hall was with Floyd when he died and is currently in jail on charges unrelated to Mr. Floyd's death.Georgia For reporting for the Racial Reckoning project.

Jury selection is wrapping up in the Derek Chauvin murder trial. On Monday afternoon the court confirmed a 14th juror - a White woman in her 20s. Judge Cahill says he wants to find at least one more alternate for the trial before wrapping up the selection process. Currently eight of the jurors are White, two are Black, two are  African immigrants, and two are of mixed-race. Alex Reyes Schroeder, a Twin Cities resident, has been following the trial closely. She says she's hopeful about the amount of diversity on the jury.“As of right now we are looking at a little less than 50 percent people of color and that is a lot more than we have in Hennepin County,” said Schroeder. “Hennepin County is about 74 percent white.”Other residents  - like community organizer Francisco Sanchez - feel the jury selection process is not equitable for people who speak English as a second language.“The decision to not have interpreters during the trial of Derek Chauvin seems purposeful, “ said Sanchez. “Immigrant voices must be heard in this trial. Our accents don't disqualify us from knowing the difference between right and wrong.”Earlier this month Judge Cahill dismissed a Mexican woman from the jury because, he said, she was “not sophisticated.”Once jury selection is complete, the court will adjourn until March 29. That's when the prosecution and the defense will make their opening statements.Georgia Fort reporting for the Racial Reckoning project

Protestors were out in force across the Twin Cities this weekend.  Some protests were in solidarity with Asian Americans killed in Atlanta last week, while others were a continuation of the demand for justice for George Floyd and other lives taken by police. Dolal Idd's father, Bayle Gelle, stood in front of the Governor's mansion Sunday pleading for State officials to intervene in his son's case. Dolal was killed by Minneapolis Police in December 2020 just one mile away from where George Floyd took his last breath.“I don't care how long it takes,” said Gelle. “I will never ever ever shut my mouth and I will never stop my struggle until I get justice for my son.”Dolal Idd, 23,  was Somali American. He was enrolled in classes at Normandale Community College at the time of his death.  The police have released disturbing footage of their raid on Dolal Idd's home after he was shot; his parents and siblings say they were terrorized. Jaylani Hussein, executive director of CAIR Minnesota, said the case should be reassigned to a special prosecution team as was done for the George Floyd case.“There's a lot of people who think we are protesting aimlessly. No, we are protesting with a purpose. We have eight bills we are trying to pass in the house in the State of Minnesota.”Meanwhile, jury selection for the Derek Chauvin trial continues. So far 13 people have been selected to serve on the jury. Judge Cahill stated Friday he now expects the court to select up to 16 jurors, with as many as four alternates.And in case you missed it, two big rulings were made Friday. The judge denied a change of venue request and a motion to delay the trial. However he did rule to allow the defense to submit details of a previous arrest of George Floyd as evidence. Georgia Fort for the Racial Reckoning project
