I started my morning early here at the Hennepin County Government center for the Mohamed Noor sentencing. Follow this thread and @kare11 main account for details. Hearing starts at 9am. Noor faces 10-15 under the guidelines. #JustineDamond #NoorTrial
Noor’s team is asking Judge Quaintance to depart from the guidelines and give probation. We have a camera in the courtroom but cannot stream or report while in progress, per judge’s order #JustineDamond #NoorTrial
The Noor juror whom I've been corresponding with hopes Noor gets a lenient, or minimum sentence today. He says he found Noor very sympathetic and although he stands by all three verdicts 100%, and "clearly time needs to be served for the crime," he does not see a bad person.
Closing arguments expected today in the Mohamed Noor Trial. They will be preceded by rubuttal witness(es) from the state to walk back some of the claims made by defense witnesses. Closings will be followed by jury instructions and the beginning of deliberations. #NoorTrial
A verdict tonight feels like a very long shot based on the length of this trial and how late the jury will likely get the case. Stay tuned to this thread for updates. #NoorTrial #JustineDamond
Closing arguments coming up after the break. We heard rebuttal testimony from State’s use of force experts Hacker and Longo, and the judge read the jury instructions.
Crystal police Lt Derrick Hacker wrapped up his state use of force testimony about 2:30pm. Questioning by defense contentious at times. But Lt. Hacker didn't budge in his conclusions -- Noor & partner Matthew Harrity made mistakes & #JustineDamond should still be alive.#NoorTrial
State now has perhaps their final witness on the stand. Former Charlottesville, VA Police Chief Timothy Longo. Longo brings police policy & administrative experience to the table. He told jury, it is the 1st time he has testified for the gov't against an officer. #NoorTrial
State expert Timothy Longo remains on stand as #Noortrial ended testimony today. He will be cross-examined by the defense tomorrow morning. Court resumes at 11am. Remember a juror has a job interview. So they are giving the juror time to take care of their business.
