Prof. Murray Appeared on Almanac to Discuss the Verdict in the Trial of Police Officer Jeronimo Yanez

Professor JaneAnne Murray was interviewed on Almanac about the acquittal in the trial of police officer Jeronimo Yanez, accused of manslaughter for his killing of Philando Castile during a traffic stop. Acknowledging that this was a difficult case for the jury (which had deliberated for four days), Professor Murray explained how the dash-cam video and audio from Officer Yanez’ patrol car supported the defense theory of the case that Yanez directed Castille several times not to reach for his weapon before the fatal shots were fired.
