The judge who oversaw the murder trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin will make the names of 15 jurors and alternates public on Monday. Judge Peter Cahill's order says he will also make public the written questionnaires of all 109 potential jurors who were formally evaluated. This is an MPR News morning update for Monday, November 1, 2021. Hosted by Cathy Wurzer. Our theme music is by Gary Meister.
The jury remained anonymous during court proceedings to protect their safety and ability to be impartial. However, Judge Peter Cahill has now declared that all 14 of the jurors' identities will be made public.--Tiffany Bui reports:Juror number two. Juror number 19. Juror number 27. No names, only numbers; that's how the court referred to jurors in Derek Chauvin's murder trial.The jury remained anonymous during court proceedings to protect their safety and ability to be impartial. However, six months after Chauvin's case was decided, Judge Peter Cahill declared that all 14 of the jurors' identities will be made public. Roy Futterman, a jury consultant and psychologist, says Cahill was likely waiting to see if there were any known threats against the jurors. “If the Justice Department or the police department said like we've been hearing people are overly interested in finding out about individual jurors, that might have swayed his opinion,” Futterman said. “But I think what he's saying is ‘I don't see any of that.'”In America, juries are not anonymous by default. While people may be nervous about what happens after the names are released, Futterman says transparency is necessary in the legal process. “You have to weigh that with the other idea that's very central to us, which is that legal proceedings should be out in the open, and we should know who's making decisions on a case,” he said. “Particularly about things that hinge on racial justice and police interactions with the community.”This decision comes after the Media Coalition, a group of local and national news organizations, asked Cahill to release juror's names and other information, like their completed questionnaires. Three jurors have already revealed their identities to the public.State prosecutors earlier this year disagreed with the Media Coalition, concerned that jurors would be at risk for harassment. They also said that it could make it harder to seat jurors in the trial of the three other officers involved in George Floyd's murder.

Here's what we're talking about on Leid Stories today. ▪︎Derek Chauvin, the ex-Minneapolis cop convicted in April of murder and manslaughter charges in the brutal killing of George Floyd, faces sentencing on Friday in Hennepin County District Court. Recommendations are at two extremes, with Judge Peter Cahill being urged by some to consider probation for Chauvin, while others want the judge to impose the heaviest sentence possible. What sentence would you recommend? Why? ▪︎Last Thursday morning, a small damaged boat was seen listing at sea, but inching its way nonetheless to shore. It banged into a sea wall, which helped it to stop. Out of the boat about 16 people emerged and quckly made their way to shore. They scattered, trying to find places to hide. Police nabbed one man, who said he was Jamaican. The island had become dangerous. Too many killings, he said. Others on the boat were from the Bahamas, Romania, Venezuela, Jamaica and the United Kingdom. The U.S. Coast Guard said that this was its 483rd migrant interdiction in South Florida since May 1.

Jurors in the George Floyd/Derek Chauvin trial were undoubtedly intimidated by protestors ready to explode if he wasn’t found guilty on all counts. So far, at least one juror - an alternate - has admitted as much! Though this isn’t the first instance of jury tampering, it threatens to be the beginning of disempowerment of the judicial system - and not just in cases related to race. Hear the 7 reasons why Derek Chauvin’s defense attorney has grounds for appeal and the mistakes Judge Peter Cahill made that allowed jury intimidators to have more influence. You’ll go in depth into the impact of: no change of venue, no jury sequestration, the $27 million settlement, prosecutorial misconduct, Maxine Waters’ call for violence, and the shootings of Duante Wright and Adam Toledo. Well-respected attorney, Alan Dershowitz, reminds us that the Ku Klux Klan, in the 1920’s and 1930’s, also used to march outside courthouses in a threatening way. How ironic is that? Hear about the roles of President Biden and LeBron James, and the danger of jury intimidators for all future trials!
"420, 4:20, or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is cannabis culture slang for marijuana and hash consumption, especially smoking around the time 4:20 p.m., and also refers to cannabis-oriented celebrations that take place annually on April 20. "At 4:20 p.m. on any given day, there's a marijuana user somewhere across the globe, chuckling at the clock while lighting up a joint or packing in a glass pipe. The number 420 has become a secret code among potential roommates and people on dating websites, a way to covertly let someone know that they welcome marijuana into their home or love life. And April 20 — 4/20 — has become the unofficial stoner holiday, with marijuana legalization activists gathering from New Jersey to California and lighting up in protest." “We've already gotten to the point where you have corporate companies tweeting about 420 and other advertisements. It's gone that far,” said David Bienenstock, a cannabis journalist and author. “It's really transformed into this day of public celebration and a holiday for the cannabis community, which is actually a really important thing." https://www.delawareonline.com/ **The Contrast Project special 420 Episode can be found on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=470039334146413 or on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmHYwgMPEDI *** Earth Day 2021 EARTHDAY.ORG's mission is to diversify, educate and activate the environmental movement worldwide.

His eyes darted left and right over his light blue surgical mask as Judge Peter Cahill read the jury's verdict, but he betrayed little else in the way of emotion. Chauvin, who was convicted of second- and third degree murder, as well as second-degree manslaughter, stood up quickly after the judge ordered his bail revoked and compliantly placed his hands to be handcuffed before he was led out of the courtroom. He faces up to 75 years in prison when he returns for sentencing in eight weeks. *** Where you can find The Contrast Project Facebook https://www.facebook.com/TheContrastProjectJax/ Twitter https://twitter.com/ContrastProjTV Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/the_contrast_project/ ** Image courtesy: Fateme Alaie- Unsplash.com --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-contrast-project/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-contrast-project/support
The judge overseeing former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin's trial in the death of George Floyd said Monday that Rep. Maxine Waters' comments could be grounds for appealing a verdict in the trial. "I'll give you that Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned," Judge Peter Cahill told defense attorney Eric Nelson on Monday. Waters on Saturday night had called for protesters to "stay on the street" and "get more confrontational" if Chauvin is acquitted in Floyd's killing, comments immediately seized on by Republicans who claimed that Waters was inciting violence.
Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: The Derek Chauvin trial hears closing arguments, and the jury begins to deliberate on the legal case which will undoubtedly set the tone for protests throughout this summer. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren suggests that military aid to Israel should be restricted so it can’t be used against Palestinians. And lastly, the largest mine workers union in America said that it supports a switch to renewable energy, provided the Biden administration works with them to protect their jobs and ease the transition away from coal and natural gas. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: The trial of Derek Chauvin is almost over. Judge and jury heard closing arguments today from both Chauvin’s defense and the prosecution, which is seeking to hold the former Minneapolis cop responsible for killing George Floyd last May. Chauvin’s defense leaned heavily on their plan all along: to sow doubt that it was Chauvin’s knee that killed George Floyd by suffocating him to death. But prosecutors were relentless in showing just how cynical, cruel, and brutal Chauvin’s conduct at the scene was. Prosecutors final words to the jury were: “The reason George Floyd is dead is because Mr. Chauvin’s heart was too small.” The jury began deliberations on Monday evening. As they did, the defense lobbed a hail-mary attempt to get a mistrial by complaining that prosecutors suggested they were lying. Rep. Maxine Waters also caused a stir this week by telling protestors on the street in nearby Brooklyn Center that if the jury acquits Chauvin, quote: “We’ve got to stay on the street. And we’ve got to get more active.” The defense is also alleging Waters’ comments may have threatened or intimidated the jury. Per the New York Times, Judge Peter Cahill says Waters quote “may have given the defense something on appeal.” endquote. In other words, despite the upcoming verdict, we may be headed for more legal battles in an appeal. This may not be decided today, but one thing is for sure: protests and the police violence against them will continue. Warren Wants Accountability for Israel Aid At an insider’s conference in Washington D.C. on Monday, Elizabeth Warren had a surprising idea: maybe, it’s not a good thing that Israel uses the billions of dollars it gets in U.S. aid to oppress Palestinians. Warren’s quote was hedged a little, of course, such is politics. Here’s what she said in context: Quote. “I support military assistance to Israel. But if we’re serious about arresting settlement expansion and helping move the parties toward a two-state solution, then it would be irresponsible not to consider all of the tools we have at our disposal. One of those is restricting military aid from being used in the occupied territories. By continuing to provide military aid without restriction, we provide no incentive for Israel to adjust course.” This would be a pretty good start! Right now, the U.S. gives Israel a blank check to buy guns, planes, drones, bombs, and basically anything else you can think of, and asks very little questions as to how they use it. More often than not, it gets used on Palestinians. The problem with what Warren is suggesting is that it would be pretty hard to enforce. The end goal of course is maybe spending a little bit less on directly funding the military of an apartheid state. Warren’s record doesn’t suggest she’d go that far -- but at least she appears to be thinking about things from a slightly more progressive perspective than many of her peers. Coal Miners Union Signals Support for Green Future The largest coal-miners union in the country has made a shocking, and promising concession: they’re open to working with the Biden administration on new climate legislation and a gradual shift toward clean energy. Leadership for the United Mine Workers of America said in an interview on Monday that they were amenable to a shift towards a greener future provided the government made real steps to preserving their jobs in the short term. The decline of the coal industry has ravaged towns and work forces in states like Joe Manchin’s West Virginia, partially explaining some of the rogue Senator’s resistance to core Democratic party goals. To try to stem this blood flow, the UMWA has largely fought tooth and nail against vital climate legislation. But in comments today, the union signaled that it was looking for a better way to help the people connected to the industry move toward a greener future -- as long as the Government makes some concessions to them. In the short term, they’re asking for government help protecting jobs and collective bargaining agreements, but in the long term, the union said it would need support to help coal employees transition into careers in renewable energy. It’s not the coal miners fault that their industry is dying -- but for the good of all of us, it’s got to go. Now it’s the government’s job to make that transition as quick and as painless as possible. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: After the pandemic disrupted routine medical visits for a year, the Washington Post reports that doctors are now seeing the consequences, as patients suffered more damage from untreated heart disease, missed cancer screenings, and put off treatment for lingering illnesses. The White House proclaimed on Monday that every adult in the U.S. is now eligible to get the coronavirus vaccine. Some states are still struggling with distribution, but in others there are doses to spare and appointments ready for anyone who has yet to get a jab. Elon Musk’s futuristic car company is once again under investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration after one of its cars caused a fiery crash that killed two people. Musk claimed that the car was not equipped with his so-called “autopilot” feature, though police alleged that there was no one at the wheel when it crashed. The RWDSU on Monday formally filed 23 objections against Amazon alleging a range of illegal conduct during the fierce union battle in Bessemer, Alabama. While Amazon’s workers lost their vote to unionize, the RWDSU could strike some blows in legal challenges, as listeners of this program will know that Amazon’s conduct was truly reprehensible.

At Derek Chauvin's murder trial on Wednesday, jurors heard from a forensic pathologist who stressed that Floyd's heart and health conditions, his drug use and the carbon monoxide released from a nearby police car played a "significant" role in his death. The defense continued to try to sow reasonable doubt against the prosecution's case that Floyd died because of restraints by police officers, including Chauvin's knee pressed down on his neck on May 25 in Minneapolis. Chauvin's attorney, Eric Nelson, told the jury Floyd died from a combination of heart disease and an overdose of fentanyl and methamphetamine, which were found in his system during an autopsy. Court proceedings kicked off with Judge Peter Cahill quashing a subpoena for Morries Hall, who was in a vehicle with Floyd the day he died, to testify. Hall has been identified during trial testimony as a suspected drug dealer from whom Floyd obtained narcotics. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/Teddy-G/support

A judge in Minneapolis Friday rejected defense motions to postpone and relocate Derek Chauvin's murder trial in the death of George Floyd. The decision comes one week after the city agreed to pay $27 million to Floyd's estate -- an announcement defense lawyers argued prejudiced their client in the middle of jury selection. Judge Peter Cahill also decided on Friday to admit limited evidence of a May 6, 2019, encounter between Floyd and police.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy
