All Four Ex-Cops Charged in George Floyd Murder Case Will Be Tried Together in Televised Proceedings
|
[LAWANDCRIME] A Minnesota judge has declined requests from the former Minneapolis coppers charged in the death of George Floyd, ruling that all four will be tried in a single proceeding which will be televised despite state prosecutors not consenting to any audio or visual coverage in the courtroom.
The Wednesday night order, from Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill, also denied requests from defendants Derek Chauvin, Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng, and Thomas Kiernan Lane to have the trial moved out of Minneapolis. The defendants had previously argued that remaining in the city would violate their Sixth Amendment right to a fair proceeding due to the amount of pre-trial exposure.
In allowing the proceedings to be televised, Cahill reasoned that the defendants’ Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial ran concurrent with "the general public’s First Amendment right of access to public trials."
"The interests promoted by this First Amendment right of public assess are similar to those promoted by the defendant’s Sixth Amendment right to a public trial," the judge said.
Under Cahill’s order, "audio and video recording, broadcasting, and livestreaming will be allowed" in the courtroom, with "only matters that are on the record" being subject to audio coverage. "Up to three video cameras may be installed in the trial courtroom: one in the back of the courtroom facing the witness stand, one on the wall behind the jury box, and one on or near the bench facing the lectern where counsel examines witnesses."
