it had been predicted that there would be an attempt by the defense to declare the trial. in this particular case, the full page protest from the defense team, basically homes in on 3 important issues. one criticizes a judge for failing to change the venue of the trial, saying that had led to a tainted jura pool. secondly, it complains about the publicity around the case. and thirdly, in the main points that the defense makes, the judge failed to request the jury for the entirety of the trial, making them open to public comment or public issues on the better that they were adjudicating on. so those are the main points that i brought up in the proclamation made to the district court of minneapolis. the defense also contends that there was jury misconduct in that the jury felt intimidated fits the complaint. it also
6:03 am
maintains that the jury did not fully consider the instructions given to it by the judge in terms of defining between the 3 various charges that were laid against eric shogun. but at the same time, the complaint alleges that the judge himself did not correctly brief the jury in terms of the procedures and in terms of the specific charges that were brought before the court. so it is a multiple series of complaints which is now being submitted to the minneapolis district court. it's now up to the court to decide where to go from here. mary moriarty is a former public defender in minneapolis and currently teaches at the university of minnesota law school. she has more on what the appeal means. almost all of the grounds have already been raised throughout the trial some multiple times. and so there really isn't a lot new there. one thing that is new is they are alleging germ misconduct. and
6:04 am
that is very vague. in fact, the, the defense asked the judge for more time to develop the points that they've made here. because some of them are so vague, they're hard to know what they're specifically referring to. but one of the reasons they're bringing up your misconduct is because one of the jurors has been getting interviews publicly and had talked about going, or he actually hadn't talked about. it did participate in march in washington dc in august. and when he was asked on the questionnaire or whether he had participated, typically in any protests, over police brutality, he said no. so that may be one of the grounds, although i don't think that has any merit either. but this is a standard motion that defense lawyers would typically make after a conviction at trial. in other words, news, india is opposition, is calling on president, render mowdy to impose a national lockdown. this is after the number of corona virus cases in the country
