From behind plexiglass and a gray mask, the spotlight is on Peter Cahill.
He s the judge overseeing the murder trial in Minneapolis that the world is watching after last summers protests following the killing of George Floyd.
Derek Chauvin, the white former police officer on trial is accused of killing Floyd, a black man. The video of him pinning Floyd s neck to the ground for more than eight minutes reignited a racial justice movement that sparked demonstrations across the country and the world against police brutality and racial injustice.
In an unprecedented decision, Cahill has allowed cameras into the courtroom to broadcast the entire criminal trial live. In the midst of a global pandemic with courtroom space limited, he decided the only way to vindicate the defendants constitutional right to a public trial and the media s and public s constitutional rights of access to criminal trials is to allow audio and video coverage of the trial.
