Floyd family attorney knocks qualified immunity for officers
Benjamin Crump, an attorney for the family of the late George Floyd , said Sunday that the doctrine of qualified immunity, which grants government officials civil immunity for on-duty actions, allows police officers to get away with “reprehensible conduct.” CBS’ Margaret Brennan noted that qualified immunity is a major bone of contention in the Senate as it prepares to take up a police reform bill passed by the House, and asked if there was room for compromise on the issue. “We understand that politics is the art of compromise,” Crump said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “However, on qualified immunity, this has to be addressed, because this is the thing that allows bad police officers to engage in reprehensible conduct like we saw with George Floyd, and… hundreds of Black people being killed. It shields their behavior.” After passing the House, the George Floyd Justice Act now heads to the Senate. Ben Crump says "allows bad police officers to engage in reprehensible conduct" … [Read more...] about Floyd family attorney knocks qualified immunity for officers

BOSTON (CBS) — Whether the Patriots go with a veteran free agent, or if they finagle a trade, or if they draft a rookie high in the first round to fill their quarterback void remains unknown.

Derek Chauvin Trial: Jury Selection Slated To Begin Monday Morning
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The eyes of the nation, if not the world, will be focused on Minneapolis on Monday as jury selection is scheduled to begin in the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former police officer accused of killing George Floyd. Chauvin is charged with second-degree murder and manslaughter in Floyd’s death last May. Given the high-profile nature of the case, jury selection is expected to last three weeks, with prosecutors and Chauvin’s defense attorneys working to find 12 jurors and four alternates who are informed about the case but not biased to one particular side. The process is slated to being Monday morning and will be streamed on CBSN Minnesota. Due to the immense pre-trial publicity, defense attorneys had asked that the case be moved out of the Twin Cities metro area. Judge Peter Cahill declined that request, in part because with internet access and 24/7 streaming news services, he reasoned that there is not a place in the state or country where most people have … [Read more...] about Derek Chauvin Trial: Jury Selection Slated To Begin Monday Morning
