MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The judge in the George Floyd murder case refused a defense request to immediately sequester the jury Monday, the morning after the killing of a Black man during a traffic stop triggered unrest in a suburb just outside Minneapolis.
The request came from the attorney for former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin. Defense attorney Eric Nelson argued that the jurors could be influenced by the prospect of what might happen as a result of their verdict. Ultimately, your honor, the question becomes will the jury be competent to make a decision regardless of the potential outcome of their decision, Nelson said.
