[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1426090, member: 14585"] [b]Update[/b] - acquittal Officer Jeronimo Yanez's trial began May 30 and ended yesterday June 16 in St Paul (after the judge refused his request of change of venue with Yanez fearing he would not get a fair trial.) He was facing 3 charges, 2nd degree manslaughter and 2 counts of reckless discharge of a firearm and was facing up to 10 years in prison. The jury mix was 7 men, 5 women 10 white and 2 black. After 5 days of deliberation (25+ hours) the jury acquitted Officer Yanez of all 3 charges. Protest and yesterday's aftermath following the verdict. After an hour long rally nearly 2,000 protesters took to the streets singing and chanting in a peaceful manner, followed by police in full riot gear. Over 400 protesters spilled out onto I-94 closing the interstate hwy section to St Paul. The police responded by forming a diagonal line and each lines captain would shout "MOVE" to which each officer responded by shouting "Move Back" thrust out their riot shield took 1 step forward and stopped. Until the captain would again shout "MOVE" and the entire process was repeated. It was all very controlled, systematic and looked almost robotic. It was also effective and all protesters were cleared by 12:30 am with 0 injuries, 1 tear gassed and 1 arrested. [b]The St Paul police should be commended for showing incredible patience and resistant.[/b] Their new and extensive training tactics were completed successfully with impressive results. A big improvement over last summer when protesters also closed this section of I-94 and 102 protesters were arrested and 21 law enforcement officers were injured... 1 seriously. [b]One juror stated... "He is well aware there are members of the community who believe The Jury Simply Got It Wrong, but it was just not that simple and they did not see the evidence we were shown."[/b] I was surprised Yanez was aquitted of recklessness, but as the juror stated... I wasn't on the jury nor did I hear both sides or see all of the evidence. [/QUOTE]
