COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) â As was the case with so many events in 2020, the Branch County Association of Realtors® (BCAR) was unable to host their annual âCliffie Bowers Memorial Scholarshipâ fundraiser due to the COVID-19 restrictions.
Since current restrictions still do not allow in person luncheons yet, BCAR decided to do things a little differently this year.
Instead of their usual live auction, over 70 BCAR members came to the BCAR office through-out the day last Thursday to make donations and pick up boxed âto goâ lunches from Jimmy Johnâs which were sponsored by Eric Ellisonâs team at Infinity Mortgage Associates.
Eric Ellison, a Winston-Salem criminal defense attorney, said Tuesdayâs guilty verdicts against the former Minneapolis police officer in the death of George Floyd will lead to local communities holding law enforcement officers accountable when they unjustly harm and kill Black and brown people.
âDerek Chauvin committed a murder, and the jury held him accountable,â said Ellison, whose brother, Keith Ellison, oversaw Chauvinâs prosecution as the Minnesota attorney general. âI, along with the rest of the nation, am relieved, that justice has finally been served.â
Jurors deliberated for about 10 hours over two days before finding Chauvin, 45, guilty of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in Floydâs death. Chauvin could be sentenced to prison for decades.
Local residents say that justice is served with guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin trial but more remains to be done journalnow.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from journalnow.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
