Wednesday, the Minnesota Supreme Court reversed the third-degree murder conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor. His conviction was based on the third-degree depraved-mind murder charge in the death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond.
According to court records, the state's Supreme Court ruled to reverse the third-degree murder conviction and send the case to district court, where Noor will be re-sentenced for his second-degree manslaughter conviction. He was originally sentenced to 12½ years in prison.
The move comes after Noor's attorney, Thomas Plunkett, filed a petition requesting the high court to hear the case after the Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled earlier this year to uphold the 2019 conviction for the shooting death of Damond in July 2017. A petition was granted days after the court upheld the conviction.
According to the ruling Wednesday, the court wrote that "the mental state necessary for depraved-mind murder... is a generalized indifference to human life, which cannot exist when the defendant's conduct is directed with particularity at the person who is killed."
The ruling went on to say the evidence was "insufficient" to uphold his conviction.
The court's ruling Wednesday could give Derek Chauvin grounds to appeal his third-degree murder conviction in George Floyd’s death, but that would have little tangible impact since Chauvin was also convicted of the more serious count of second-degree murder.
Sorry.
Thanks, ButThreeLeftsDo.
*PING* to the rest of you.
👍
Once again, muslims are a protected class of the democrat taliban party.
“Generalized indifference to human life”
Hmmmmmm……
Wonder what else that describes?
Of course they reversed his conviction because his name isn’t Derrick Chauvin who was innocent of all charges
But Chauvin’s conviction stands. OK.
BTW, Chauvin’s sentence was almost twice the length of Noor’s.
White privilege.
“The ruling went on to say the evidence was “insufficient” to uphold his conviction.”
The actual murder is “insufficient evidence”? What more do they need?
So it’ perfectly OK for a racist black cop to murder an unarmed white person. Right, Justine Damond? Right, Ashlii Babbitt?
White privilege.
“What more do they need?”
A white cop.
Isn’t murder the one crime for which there is no statute of limitations?
Re-file it. Prontissimo.
So now the Just-Us Department needs to codify victimology to we all understand the new social order. Is a petty black criminal like George Floyd higher or lower than a Muslim psychopath? We all understand white, heterosexual men are on the bottom, but what’s the rank order above them?
Just give him the original sentence for the manslaughter conviction. 12 1/2 years.
From the article...
“According to court records, the state’s Supreme Court ruled to reverse the third-degree murder conviction and send the case to district court, where Noor will be re-sentenced for his second-degree manslaughter conviction. He was originally sentenced to 12½ years in prison.”
No way he could do what he did WITHOUT “a generalized indifference to human life”. He shot a woman with no more regard than most people would shoot a tin can.
Our justice system has been compromised steadily, over the years.
Anymore, if you disagree with a verdict, just shop for another judge, until you find one who agrees with you.
My God that poor woman was simply assassinated like Babbitt.
This actually may help Chauvin
If he shows up in blackface.
The training officers and sergeants who signed off on this incompetent moron to carry a firearm need to be locked in the cell with him serving the full 12 1/2 year sentence.
