ST. PAUL, Minn. (CN) The Minnesota Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in the case of Mohamed Noor, a former Minneapolis police officer convicted of third-degree murder for the 2017 killing of an Australian woman who called 911 to report a possible sexual assault.
Noor is the first police officer in Minnesota history to be convicted of murder for an on-duty killing, but Wednesday’s arguments didn’t focus on whether his conduct was justified.
Affected businesses should know in the next two weeks whether lawmakers will intervene.
