"structural altercation motivated by the perception of political influence can only feed that latter perception, further eroding that trust." as he says that, there are liberals aggressively lobbying breyer, 82 years old, to retire. biden could possibly replace him in this key moment of history for the supreme court in this country. >> emily: against affect travel calls for breyer to resign, against this morning that this is a political move that could trust in the institution, to think that change

in minneapolis let's speak to ronald sullivan are professor of law and criminal justice at harvard law school professor since we spoke last time there's been now body cam footage dramatic footage of the latest shooting in minnesota where a black man was killed after being shot by police authorities there saying it was accidental that the officer who shot his gun at the black man meant to shoot a taser this is happening of course says the show vein child is continuing in minneapolis but certainly not a good look and not a good thing for the defense said this event happened on the day this trial was resuming. not at all you're absolutely right there's to my estimation no way that the jurors will not hear about that in other words they're they're going to do their darndest to stay off of social media not read the newspapers etc but the news channels are absolutely inundated with this story it's local it's a 20 minute drive from where the jurors are so they will hear about it and it has the potential to be triggering for that community that once again another instance of a police officer killing

ronald sullivan is a professor of law and director of criminal justice institute at harvard law school he says the state has acted swiftly but not fast enough to ease the anger on the streets. let me be clear this this culpable negligence then storage is a homicide charge so homicide in the united states is graded so there are different gradations of homicide with the top count of homicide being intentional murder that's like you know hiding in a bush and jumping out and shooting somebody you know wanting to do it intending to do it and then the charges are graded down still homicide but the notion is that people are more or less culpable depending on what's going on inside their head so this is a lower level murder charge but still a homicide charge they immediately release the body warrant cameras and they charge this officer very quickly normally it takes a long time before the state will charge an officer what we're seeing on the screen now is people are just simply fed up with the way in which black bodies are treated in the united states and the back to back to back homicides una

minneapolis and at ronald sullivan as a no professor and director of criminal justice and change to harvard law school joins us now from his massachusetts massachusetts via skype so course the defense strategy is to argue the existing health issues and not the actions of the police cause the death of george floyd is the prosecution and this witness testimony succeeding in countering that bar of reasonable doubt. absolutely this was great i mean great testimony for the prosecution people were worried because this report the report that dr baker filed at the time of the incident just didn't mention the expect as as a cause of the death so people were worried about the extent to which the defense would be able to score a lot of points with this witness but. this witness clearly and unequivocally said at the end of his testimony that heart disease that not was not the major cause of death and that fit not was not the major cause of death they may have contributed he said but the major cause of death was the lack of oxygen so i mean this is precisely what the prosecution wants the jury to hear let me also
