JUSTICE & SOCIETY PODCAST Breaking the Blue Wall of Silence
On Friday, a judge sentenced former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin to 22 and a half years in prison for the murder of George Floyd. The judge wrote Chauvin “abused his position of trust and authority.” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Neal Katyal, law professor at Georgetown, helped lead the prosecution against Chauvin. They share insider details with Joshua Johnson, anchor of MSNBC’s “The Week with Joshua Johnson,” about preparing for one of the the most high profile trials this century, and they reflect on what it took to break the blue wall of silence and if the trial signals a sea change in how other cases will be prosecuted in the years to come.Listen
