A man who was with George Floyd the day he died in Minneapolis police custody filed a notice with the court Wednesday saying he will invoke his constitutional right against self-incrimination if he is asked to testify in court.
Probably because dealing fentanyl is a crime and that poor ex-cop can't afford to pay off the prosecuting attorney to have limited immunity granted to this person for anything that comes out in the trial...
And the family of this angle Floyd now has how many millions? Boy crime does pay. Hell just look at all the rich politicians who had very little prior to getting in office, then bam rich.
Both the people in Floyd's vehicle have extensive arrest records. The guy pleading the 5th has multiple felony warrants out on him, including illegal weapons possession.
Personally, i think it's a BS move, as who is going to believe a criminal on the stand, especially if given immunity.

Invoking the fifth is the only way he gets to keep breathing. A classic double bind: damned if you do, damned if you don't. The whole spectacle is a show trial that would make Stalin blush. The judge is another Lance Ito looking for his 15 minutes in the spotlight.

The reason he doesn't want to testify is because the other guy is his drug dealer, according to Floyd's girlfriend in court today.

ReplyDeleteIs that a preemptive move to keep the defense from asking embarrassing questions?
