All four former Minneapolis police officers charged in George Floyd’s murder are scheduled to appear in court on Monday. According to CNN, Derek Chauvin, J. Alexander Kueng, Tou Thao and Thomas Lane will go before a judge sometime midday, though no cameras will be allowed in the courtroom.

Chauvin is charged with second-degree murder in Floyd’s death, which came after he knelt on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes during an arrest on May 25. Kueng, Thao, and Lane are all charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree manslaughter. All four men were fired from the Minneapolis Police Department. Chauvin will appear vie video (ITV), but the other three will appear in person. Chauvin’s bail was set at $1.25 million, and bail for Kueng, Thao and Lane was set at $1 million each. Notably, Kueng and Lane have been released released on conditional bond, but Chauvin and Thao remain behind bars.

Floyd’s funeral was held on June 9, and was attended by a number of high-profile mourners, such as Jamie Foxx, Channing Tatum, and Houston Texans player J.J. Watt. While he could not attend, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden sent a pre-recorded video that was played for those who were in attendance in person. “As I’ve said to you privately, we know. We know you will never feel the same again,” Biden said. “Unlike most, you must grieve in public, and it’s a burden. A burden that is now your purpose to change the world for the better, in the name of George Floyd.”

Biden went on to say, “Ladies and gentlemen, we can’t turn away. We must not turn away. America can do better. America has no choice but to do better. We can heal this nation’s wounds. Today, now, is the time. The purpose, the season, to listen and heal.”

Floyd’s eulogy was delivered by long time civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton. He praised Floyd’s family for showing strength at such a tragic time, and assured them that they even when the “last TV truck is gone,” they will continue to have support from the community. “We must commit to this family that until these people pay for what they did, that we’re going to be with them because lives like George’s will not matter until someone pays the cost for taking their lives,” he said. Concluding his message, Sharpton said, “Your family is going to miss you, George, but your nation is always going to remember your name. We’re going to fight on.”

The case involved two Black defendants and a White alleged victim, who told the all-White jury, “If my gun had not stuck, those two [n-word] wouldn’t be here in court today.”

“I can still hear him saying that,” Howard told CNN.

Howard said that incident spurred him to become a prosecutor.

Today, as district attorney for Fulton County, Georgia’s most populous county, Howard is no stranger to high-profile cases. Lately, however, Howard himself has been the center of national attention after he swiftly charged two White Atlanta police officers in the fatal shooting of Rayshard Brooks, a Black man.

Brooks’s death has reignited nationwide protests over race and policing that were sparked by the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

But the charges have also drawn accusations that Howard — whose ongoing campaign for another term in office is already dogged by controversy — charged the officers for political benefit.

Howard denies these allegations.

As he dodges criticism amid a run for a 7th term, here are five things to know about Howard.

He is Georgia’s first Black elected district attorney

Howard was elected to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office in 1996, becoming Georgia’s first elected African American district attorney.

When Howard took office in January 1997, he said the county and Atlanta were “beset with crime.” He vowed to reduce it.

Today Howard touts a higher conviction rate, which he says is 92%. His office has created several prosecution units, including those focused on crimes against women and children, white collar crime and cold cases.

Howard has established programs to prevent crime and reduce recidivism rates. The latest is Project Level Up, a program with the public defender’s office and the juvenile court system that focuses on repeat juvenile offenders.

Another Howard initiative includes the Conviction Integrity Unit, which reviews cases and overturns wrongful convictions. This year, an inmate serving a life sentence on a drug offense was released after two decades in prison.

Howard said the rates of violent crime and overall crime in Atlanta have dropped significantly since he took office. Howard also said he has reduced the Fulton County jail population by half since taking office, saving taxpayers millions of dollars.

He’s prosecuted high-profile cases, including Ray Lewis’ murder trial

One well known case from early in his 23-year tenure was the trial of NFL player Ray Lewis, who was charged with murder along with two companions in connection with the deaths of two men following a post-Super Bowl celebration in early 2000.

By many accounts, the trial did not go well for Howard. His office eventually dropped the murder charges against Lewis, who pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice and agreed to testify against his two co-defendants. In the end, both were acquitted.

“The story of that case is a great example of what happens when a prosecutor rushes to judgment without having all the facts,” said Page Pate, a Georgia criminal defense attorney.

Howard dismissed claims he rushed the case. “It could be 10 years down the road, and that’s what a defense attorney will say: ‘You rushed to judgment,'” Howard said.

The Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal, one of US public education’s largest ever, represents another prominent case for Howard. Eleven of 12 defendants — including executive administrators, a principal and four teachers — were convicted of racketeering and other charges.

“He got a lot of criticism about bringing that case, about prosecuting those teachers,” said Pate, who represented one of the teachers. But Pate also credits Howard for how he allowed his prosecutors to handle the case, including then-prosecutor Fani Willis, who is now running to unseat her former boss.

He’s in a runoff election for his 7th term

Howard is fighting to keep his office.

He’s in a run-off election against Willis after he came in second in the Democratic primary earlier this month — he obtained 35% of the vote to Willis’s 42%. In Georgia, elections go into a run-off if no candidate collects 50% of the vote in a primary.

Howard’s performance, coupled with the speedy charges against Atlanta police officers, has resulted in accusations he charged the officers in the Brooks case because it could benefit him politically.

In a statement last week, the Georgia Sheriff’s Association called the charges a “grandstanding vote-seeking tactic,” and said they were “more about (Howard’s) re-election than justice for the officers involved, the Atlanta Police Department and the citizens of our state.”

Pate likened the case to a “political gift” for Howard. “He is running as fast as he can to make prosecutorial decisions that may at the end of the day be the correct decisions,” Pate said, “But make no mistake, the timing is driven by the politics.”

“I think that’s ridiculous,” Howard told CNN when asked about the claim. He said the case would be his office’s 40th case charging a police officer, nine of which involved the death of someone by police.

Some have complained Howard did not wait for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to complete its investigation in the Brooks shooting. Howard said his office has no obligation to wait.

“The DA’s office is an independent office. We’ve got our own investigators, our own lawyers. So when we get cases, we don’t make decisions based upon what somebody else says,” he told CNN.

One criticism of Howard is he is a micromanager, forcing prosecutors to run decisions through him for his approval, according to Atlanta criminal defense attorney Bruce Harvey, who has represented clients charged by Howard’s office, including one of the defendants in the Ray Lewis case.

Harvey said Howard’s management style is dysfunctional and inefficient, particularly for a DA’s office in a major metropolitan area.

“It affects the community, it affects families and it affects the perception of whether or not justice is being done in the courts and in this community,” said Harvey, who supports Willis and has contributed to her campaign.

Senior Fulton County Superior Court Judge Jerry Baxter, who presided over the cheating trial, said in an email that Howard’s “leadership style” has resulted in lawyers quitting and going to work for other DA’s offices, calling it a “real shame” for the county.

Howard, calling the critique “strange,” said the office changed so a line attorney cannot dismiss a case without a supervisor’s permission. Before, he said, cases got dismissed that shouldn’t have.

“It is the district attorney who has to answer for those cases, and not the line attorneys,” he said.

He’s under investigation by the GBI and has been accused of ethics violations

Complicating his chances of re-election is the fact that Howard is under criminal investigation by the GBI.

GBI spokeswoman Nelly Miles told CNN the agency began a criminal investigation of Howard following an April request by the state Attorney General’s office. The GBI would not confirm why it is investigating and declined to comment further.

Howard said he “didn’t have anything to hide.”

Howard has been accused of 14 ethics violations by the state ethics commission after he failed to disclose his roles in non-profit organizations in financial disclosure reports.

According to a complaint by the Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission, between 2015 and 2019 Howard did not disclose that he was the CEO of two nonprofit organizations, including one called People Partnering for Progress.

Citing tax filings, the ethics commission complaint says over several years Howard paid himself at least $165,000 — supplemental income he never reported in his financial disclosure reports.

In response to the GBI investigation and the ethics complaint, Howard told CNN he believes he will be “totally exonerated.”

Howard said he did not make the disclosures in the financial report because he didn’t know it was necessary and said he has since amended those filings.

Howard confirmed he received the “salary supplements” from the city, and he sent then-Mayor Kasim Reed a letter indicating the money would be “administered by the non-profit.”

“I have not done anything wrong,” he said.

He’s been accused of sexual misconduct and gender discrimination

Howard faces another set of allegations. Three women who work for him, or previously did so, have filed lawsuits accusing Howard of sexual misconduct and harassment and gender discrimination.

In a lawsuit filed in February, Jasmine Younge, Howard’s deputy chief of staff and director of policy and programs, accused Howard of discriminating against her after she told him that she was pregnant and that it was considered high risk.

The lawsuit claims Howard immediately began looking to replace Younge. He excluded her from meetings and reassigned her duties, according to the lawsuit.

Two weeks after Younge notified Howard that she was pregnant, Howard asked for her resignation, the lawsuit says. When she refused, she says she was terminated.

Another lawsuit filed in April alleges Howard used his authority to pressure another employee, Cathy Carter, for sex, including by helping her son “resolve multiple criminal issues.” When Carter relented, she was promoted, the lawsuit says.

This went on because Carter, the lawsuit says, feared retaliation, but when she refused Howard’s alleged advances she was moved to a different office building with a different job.

Another suit, filed in May by human resources director Tisa Grimes, accuses Howard of sexual harassment, alleging he repeatedly made uninvited sexual comments and groped her.

Howard allegedly threatened to remove Grimes from her position while continuing the alleged harassment, the lawsuit says. After Grimes filed an equal employment opportunity complaint against Howard, he sent her to another office building and stripped her of her title and duties as retaliation, according to the lawsuit.

Howard did not address the specifics of each of the lawsuits but said they were politically motivated. Howard pointed out the lawsuits were all filed “within weeks of the general election,” referring to them as “campaign suits.”

“I think people can see through it,” he said. “Guy’s been in office for 23 years and then a month or two before the election these harassment suits are filed.”

“I believe that Atlanta is probably the best place to lead the rest of the world in changing what is going on with policing in this country,” the district attorney said. “And I’m looking forward to being a part of that process.”

Officer Derek Chauvin was arrested Friday and charged with 3rd-degree murder and manslaughter in the death of George Floyd, but the people of Minnesota aren’t satisfied, according to Timberwolves forward Josh Okogie.

“I think the people, they want everybody to be arrested, all the officers,” Okogie, a second-year forward out of Georgia Tech, said Friday by phone from Minneapolis. “Even watching the video, all of the officers were negligent and none of the officers acted accordingly.

“I’ve spoken to a lot of officers that I’ve known in this area and they definitely didn’t follow protocol. Neither did they handle the situation properly or act in a way that was humane.”

Okogie was among several Timberwolves, including former No. 1 pick Karl-Anthony Towns, who attended a press conference and rally led by former NBA player Stephen Jackson on Friday in Minneapolis.

“My reason for going there and supporting it was obviously I just wanted to join forces with a guy like Stephen Jackson who obviously is mourning at a time like this but also to create awareness of this situation and just kind of be the voice of a lot of people of this city whose voice may be soft-spoken,” Okogie said.

Jackson was close friends with Floyd and considered him a brother. He, too, wants to see all four officers punished for Floyd’s death.

“We’re going to use our platform,” Jackson said at the press conference. “I’m going to use everything I have to get a conviction, to get all these motherf—ers in jail.”

As Floyd was videotaped saying, “Please, I can’t breathe,” Chauvin held his left knee on Floyd’s neck for 8 minutes, 46 seconds — 2 minutes, 53 seconds of which occurred after Floyd was non-responsive.

According to reports, there had been 18 complaints against Chauvin during his 19-year career.

As of Friday evening, the other three officers had been fired but not yet charged.

Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said he anticipated more charges to come, possibly against some of the other three officers.

“The investigation is ongoing,” Freeman said. “We felt it was appropriate to focus on the most dangerous perpetrator. This case has moved with extraordinary speed.”

Floyd’s death on Monday sparked protests and riots across the country, with parts of Minneapolis and St. Paul burning as a result on Thursday night.

“It’s crazy,” Okogie said. “I mean people are definitely speaking up about their frustration, their cry is kind of evident. And there’s a lot of protesting, a. lot of rioting and stuff out here.”

Okogie isn’t sure if the Timberwolves (19-45) will play another game this season, or if they will wear a patch in Floyd’s honor when they play again, but said the team supports the cause going forward.

“They are 100 percent on our side and we have their 100 percent support, anything that we’re doing,” Okogie said. “I know that they’re all for it.”

Two LMPD officers are facing charges, accused of not properly helping a domestic violence victim who they say was later killed.

Amanda Berry, 33, was found dead in the basement of a home in the 3200 block of Virginia Avenue at the end of January. When police found her, they said it appeared her body had been there for a “long period of time.”

Watch the story from when she was found in the player above.

William Sloss was later charged with murder, domestic violence and abuse of a corpse in relation to her death. Neighbors identified Sloss as her boyfriend and said they had tried to help her escape the abusive relationship.

An arrest report revealed a lengthy history of alleged violence between the two.

According to a statement from LMPD, officers Kierstin Holman and Cody Luckett made contact with Berry on December 26, 2019, which couldn’t have been long before she died.

LMPD says a supervisor was doing a review of the Berry case for the Fatality Review Panel, held for all domestic violence homicides, and found the officers failed to provide Berry the proper assistance during the December encounter.

Misdemeanor summons were issued Thursday for violation of KRS 209A.120, or Duties of law enforcement to provide assistance.

Both officers have been on administrative reassignment since the case began in early March, LMPD said in a statement.

The case will now move to the Professional Standards Unit for a review of potential internal policy violations.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn — Bodycam and patrol car footage reveals more details about the arrest of a UT football player that Coach Jeremy Pruitt called “unacceptable” and prompted an apology from the player.

Vols linebacker Jeremy Banks, 19, was arrested after a traffic stop revealed he had an outstanding warrant for failure to appear out of Knox County.

On July 17, 2019, he was charged with driving on a suspended license after being pulled over on Kingston Pike at South Concord Street. That charge still applied when he was stopped early in the morning Sunday, Sept. 15, the day after the UT-Chattanooga game.

RELATED: Pruitt talks about preps for Florida, suspended players will travel with the team

In the video, which was released at the request of 10News, Banks said he was dropping off a friend at Stokely Hall when he was pulled over for making an illegal U-turn.

WARNING: ADULT LANGUAGE

He initially told the officer that he didn’t have his license on him, but then admitted it was suspended.

When the officer ran Banks’ information, he found the outstanding warrant with a $500 bond and placed him under arrest.

As the officer patted him down, Banks said he was a football player and asked to call head coach Jeremy Pruitt multiple times.

Banks was led to a patrol car and put in the back seat.

Officers asked if he had anything illegal in his car, and when he said no, he consented to have it searched. Officers did not find anything illegal in the car.

Since his car was not impounded, officers helped Banks call a friend to come and pick it up. However, when the friend arrived, officers found his license was suspended as well.

Banks’ friend called another person to come to pick up the car. With his license coming back as valid, Banks asked for them to post his bond and they were able to move the car.

Banks then called Pruitt, who ended up talking to the arresting officer on speakerphone. 

Pruitt told the officer that he was aware of the traffic ticket and had a state trooper walk Banks through the process of paying it off since Banks had no one at home to help him with legal issues.

Pruitt said he was not aware of the warrant and asked about it several times.

WARNING: ADULT LANGUAGE

“So why do you, I mean, why do you have to arrest him just ’cause he’s a warrant?” Pruitt can be heard saying over the phone. 

“That’s because the state of Tennessee is the one who issued the warrant so I have to take him in for that warrant. Like I said, I have no choice about that. If it was just a suspended license, I could have discretion on that,” the officer replied.

For most of the video, Banks was cooperative and respectful to the officers and spent a lot of time in the back of the cruiser.

He asked to have his cuffs adjusted a couple of times because they were too tight and swore at officers a few times when he got frustrated.

Banks also asked to call a friend to tell him which detention facility he was going to so he could be bonded out.

Just before they started toward the detention center, Banks made a controversial comment to a woman who was riding along with the officer.

“Ma’am, you don’t wanna be an intern because where I’m from we shoot at cops. I’m from Memphis, Tennessee,” he said.

The officer stopped the conversation before it could escalate.

On the way to the detention center, Banks alternated between singing, making light conversation and insulting the officer.

“I should have ran, test y’all’s speed. Y’all would’ve never caught me,” Banks said repeatedly in the cruiser. 

Banks also told the officer he’s going to make sure he can’t get into Neyland Stadium.

At the time of his arrest, UT athletics said in a statement, “We are aware of the situation. It was related to an unresolved traffic violation which he has now resolved.”

Banks remains on the team at this time. He traveled with the team to Florida but did not play.

In a statement on Tuesday, Pruitt said, “Jeremy’s behavior and comments are unacceptable and portrayed himself and our football program very poorly and he understands that. We will address the matter internally. I’m determined to do what I can to help Jeremy grow up and become a better man. Our team and staff respect our law enforcement and we will continue to educate our players on how to carry themselves at all times.”

Banks also made a statement on Tuesday saying, “I want to sincerely apologize to my family, the University of Tennessee and the law enforcement community. I deeply regret my language and attitude in the video. I have great respect for our policemen and women, and I am embarrassed by my actions that night. That’s not who I am. I promise to be a better representative for the University of Tennessee moving forward.”

The Vancouver police officers who repeatedly Tasered a former university football player during a stop for jaywalking are under investigation for their conduct that night.

Jamiel Moore-Williams, 22, was walking along the Granville Strip after a night out with friends in early February. At the time, he told CTV Vancouver that he had crossed the street, against the light, to avoid a stranger throwing rocks at passersby. That’s when he was stopped by police.

In cellphone video recorded by one of his friends, Moore-Williams can be seen offering his identification to the officers before they pull him to the ground and Taser him multiple times.

The Vancouver Police Department claimed Moore-Williams became “increasingly argumentative” during the altercation and that he tried to put one of the officers into a headlock. The department also said the fitness trainer and former defensive end for the UBC Thunderbirds gave officers the middle finger when he jaywalked in front of them.

However, B.C.’s police complaint commissioner has questioned the department’s account of events and ordered an investigation under the Police Act. Deputy Police Complaint Commissioner Rollie Woods told CTV Vancouver that the officers’ explanation doesn’t align with the cellphone video of the incident.

“It’s alleged that he choked one of the officers, that’s not evident in the video we saw, so if there is more video we’d like to see it,” Woods said.

Donna Turko, Moore-Williams’ lawyer, said that’s the only video of the arrest she’s aware of at this time.

Woods said that his office has also asked the RCMP to see if there was any excessive use of force during the takedown. The Vancouver police are also conducting an internal investigation into the case.

Moore-Williams is fighting two counts of obstruction of justice and a ticket for jaywalking, his lawyer said.

None of the allegations have been tested in court.

With a report from CTV Vancouver’s Jon Woodward
