An activist in Minneapolis has been arrested and charged with
attempting to intimidate a judge handling the trial of an ex-
police officer who killed a Black man in April.
According to KARE 11, 32-year-old Minneapolis activist Cortez
Rice is charged in Hennepin County with one count of harassment
involving retaliation against a judicial officer. Rice and his
colleagues were at the condo of the judge protesting the
decision that Judge Regina Chu isn’t allowing cameras and audio
devices in the courtroom for the Kim Potter trial.
Potter is facing manslaughter charges for the shooting and
killing of Daunte Wright after a car chase.
Chu previously had an order that would not allow cameras in the
courtroom. Right after the protest, the judge altered the order
and allowed the trial to be televised, as she stated the reason
was COVID-related, not due to the protest.
Prosecutors observed a video of the protest that Rice
livestreamed. They allege he stood outside the door of a condo
and said, “We on her heels. What she think (inaudible) we want
cameras. The people deserve to know.”
Reports say that Rice was heard on the live stream shouting, “we
demand transparency. We’d hate you to get kicked out of your
apartment.” Another protestor was heard saying the incident was
a “trial run” and that they would be back.
According to the papers filed, Chu told investigators, “it was
her belief the intention was to intimidate her and to interfere
with the judicial process.”
In April, according to the Star Tribune, former Minnesota police
officer Kim Potter, who resigned after she killed Daunte Wright,
had been arrested on a charge of second-degree manslaughter. The
charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a
$20,000 fine.
The arrest took place a day after Potter resigned from the
Brooklyn Center Police Department after claiming that she
mistakenly fired her service weapon, thinking it was her taser
gun.
Potter, a 26-year veteran and a former police union president,
pulled Wright and his girlfriend over due to an expired tag.
Wright had an outstanding warrant in his name, and police tried
to handcuff him outside of his car.
