Geee Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 PJ Media The Minnesota Supreme Court reversed a murder conviction Wednesday against former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor. The state’s first Somali-American cop — who was reportedly rushed through training by liberal city leadership — shot and killed Justine Ruszczyk in a 2017 tragedy that garnered international attention. Minnesota Chief Justice Lorie Gildea, penning the unanimous opinion, said evidence used to convict Noor of third-degree “depraved-mind” murder does not hold up against state law, which says depraved-mind murder only occurs when someone perpetrates an act “eminently dangerous to others” and “without regard for human life.” “The mental state necessary for depraved-mind murder is a generalized indifference to human life, which cannot exist when the defendant’s conduct is directed with particularity at the person who is killed,” reads the edict. “The only reasonable inference that can be drawn from the circumstances proved is that [Noor’s] conduct was directed with particularity at the person who was killed, and the evidence is therefore insufficient to sustain his conviction for depraved-mind murder.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 @Geee In the Noor case they just kept adding charges to CYA. Second-degree manslaughter conviction still stands. He was a Bad Cop (Shooting Across His Partner!) Rushed through as a Diversity Hire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
