Attorney Tom Hagen appears on KTTC News to explain the difficulty of finding an impartial jury following the record setting $27M civil rights settlement to the Floyd family, which happened during jury selection process of Derek Chauvin’s criminal trial.
Tom said, “The overriding problem is that once the news hits that a settlement took place, people believe that’s an admission of guilt by Mr. Chauvin. That’s not the case. That’s the city settling. Once you taint the jury a little bit, it’s hard to get it back.
