In the wake of the shooting, hundreds of protesters broke into businesses, jumped on police cars and hurled rocks and other objects at police in Brooklyn Center.

That’s just what happens. And we can’t have every single world event that might affect somebody’s attitude or emotional state or anything be the grounds to come back and re-voir dire all the jurors.”The ruling came as the trial entered its third week, with the prosecution close to wrapping up its case and giving way to the start of the defense.
“It was the truly the prone restraint and positional restraints that led to his asphyxiation,” the expert said.

Honay, that was 'global' protests. Why? bc it was murder. fact
