knowledge of the case there is no elements of racism and there was no intent by the police officer to cause deadly or physical harm to the decedent, mr. garner. the senior officer at the scene was african-american female sergeant. she was there the entire time. certainly during the time we see in the video. secondly the reason the police officers came in to make this arrest is because the local business people in the minority community went to police headquarters and said that brown was causing disturbances over the previous several weeks and was driving customers away. he had become a problem in the neighborhood and the police went in to stop him and he resisted arrest. this would have been a misdemeanor arrest. the police made a quarter million misdemeanor arrests last year in the city and this was the on fatality. they wanted to bring him to the ground and subdue hip as quickly as possible when he resisted
weakling and the prosecution didn t refute that despite his mma training and history of issues with former girlfriends. this was a poorly prosecuted case and a decedent who was treated like he was the criminal. let me play a little devil s advocate on the last point. wasn t part of the problem that some of the evidence was not allowed to be put in for the jury to see? we were able to see as just regular people because of florida sunshine laws, a whole lot more evidence than the jury ever got a chance to see. when we left, when the trial ended on that case, we walked into the family room and said it s 3-3. three on our side and three against us right? that s what happened. they went into the jury room at 3-3. when they got in the jury room they got confused by the jury
they wanted a different verdict and number two is the larger cultural piece of how people perceive the shooter versus the decedent. one big mistake they made, they played all of george s testimony on video so you never had to take the stand. they learned that lesson in the michael dunn case and showed nothing off his testimony with the police and made him take the stand which ultimately put him in prison. thank you. thank you so much for getting up with us this morning. thank you. when it comes to the assault on voting rights there are a lot of things to worry about. we ll have more, after this. i m l-i-s-a and i have copd, but i don t want my breathing problems to get in the way of hosting my book club. that s why i asked my doctor about b-r-e-o. once-daily breo ellipta helps increase airflow from the lungs for a full 24 hours. and breo helps reduce symptom flare-ups that last several days and require oral steroids, antibiotics, or hospital stay.
decedent and the murderer. there were only two people on that beach so in this case forensics made the entire case. the truth of the matter is with physical evidence we have, once we developed it, analyzed it, and had it in its final form and compared it to the story, it revealed that justin barber was a liar. a small texas community mourned the tragic death of an outstanding high school athlete and scholar. at first, there wasn t much hope that the killer would be apprehended, but tiny paint chips and bits of plastic provided evidence far more accurate than an eyewitness. san antonio is one of the fastest growing cities in texas, which in turn, required the construction of one of the most sophisticated systems of state highways in the country. unfortunately, increased traffic
but we did not do enough. your response to that? well, there s no doubt they did not do enough. the question is, whether they re doing enough. and the answer is no. they ve known about the problem with the ignition switches since 2005. but they also have a problem, where the key is located on the column. even if they repair the switches, consumers are still going to bump these keys driving down the road, because of the how the key sits on the column. the gm engineers understand this, and they should fix it, what they re doing is a partial solution, it s not a total solution, what the company needs to do is step up and completely fix these cars, so consumers can be assured that they will be safe driving these cars. what was gm saying to you as an attorney for a decedent before mr. hood, the engineer put all the pieces together? we don t know what the problem was. they would not step up to the plate. and it wasn t until mark this
