Valin Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 MPR Jon Collins , Riham Feshir Apr 30, 2019 Former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor leaves the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis with his attorneys on Tuesday. A jury on Tuesday found former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor guilty on charges of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the killing of 911 caller Justine Ruszczyk. He was acquitted of second-degree intentional murder. Noor was led out of the courtroom in handcuffs following the verdict. Sentencing is scheduled for June 7. (Snip) Noor's defense attorneys argued throughout the monthlong trial that he fired to protect his terrified partner after hearing a thump on the squad in the alley and then seeing a figure by the driver's side window raising an arm.

Valin Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share Posted April 30, 2019 The Power Line Show, Ep. 122: Scott On the Noor Verdict Scott was still out of breath when I caught up with him just after he arrived home from the courthouse after the verdict in the Noor trial, but I prevailed on him to sit down and record a quick 15-minute special edition of the Power Line podcast. I managed to get Scott to extend his thoughts a bit beyond his Joe Friday-style “just-the-fact-ma’am” news coverage of the trial here on the site, since this whole story is far from over.

Valin Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 Before sentencing, Noor supporters speak of his kindness and compassion Issues Jon Collins , Riham Feshir Jun 5, 2019 Supporters of former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor — including friends, relatives, cops and a sitting state legislator — recall the times that he drove them safely home after a snowstorm or taught young people soccer. Over a span of 44 letters filed in court Wednesday, they asked the judge presiding over his case to consider Noor's contributions to the community when sentencing him Friday on third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter convictions. Defense attorneys cited the letters in asking the court to sentence Noor to probation. (Snip) Defense attorneys are asking Judge Kathryn Quaintance to depart from the presumptive sentence of about 12.5 years and sentence him to probation. They argue that the court should take into account his cooperation, age, conduct in court and support of friends and family. (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 At the Noor sentencing (2) Scott Johnson June 7 2019 Following an emotionally devastating hearing including victim impact statements and a related video of the victim’s family and friends, Hennepin County District Judge Quaintance sentenced former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor to 150 months in prison for the third-degree murder of Justine Ruszczyk (Damond). Judge Quaintance rejected the defendant’s arguments in favor a dispositional or durational departure as unsupported by any relevant legal argument. She specifically rejected the therapeutic options served up by Noor and his counsel. She accordingly imposed the presumptive sentence at the middle of the allowable range under the Minnesota sentencing guidelines. Before imposing sentence, however, Judge Quaintance lowered the boom on Noor on the Minneapolis Police Department. In doing so, she took on the voice of the community as expressed by the jury to her following the verdict. How could the police do what they did in this case? Change is needed. How can officers have acted in such blatant disregard of their duty to serve and protect? Why was there so much discussion of police ambushes at trial? What about the motto embossed on Minneapolis police squad cars — “To protect with courage, to serve with compassion”? (Snip) I have more to say on the hearing and how it went down, but this will have to do for now. ______________________________________________________________ .......
