A juror in the State v. Chauvin trial has faced increased scrutiny after he was spotted attending a protest in Washington, D.C. last summer. A photo of the juror,
Brandon Mitchell, shows him wearing a t-shirt with Martin Luther King Jr. on it as he attends a protest celebrating the 57th anniversary of the "March On Washington." As his photo has circulated throughout social media, Mitchell has opted to get ahead of the news story.
"I'd never been to [Washington] D.C.," Mitchell told the Minnesota Star-Tribune.
"The opportunity to go to D.C., the opportunity to be around thousands and thousands of Black people; I just thought it was a good opportunity to be a part of something."
