In reply to the discussion: Officer charged with murder in shooting death of unarmed woman in Minneapolis alley [View all]mn9driver
(4,419 posts)7. It will be difficult to obtain a conviction.
Noors partner has testified that they were both startled and in fear for their lives in the moments leading up to the shooting. For a police officer in the line of duty, that has always been a successful defense in Minnesota. The officer that shot Philando Castile was acquitted due to this.
Im not defending what happened, but the prosecution will need to discredit this testimony in order to get a conviction.
