Would you be okay if one branch of the government would just tell the other branch of the government who’s free speech is “allowable”?Maybe the judge was fooled but it appears he was not.
Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill criticized Rep. Maxine Waters
"I wish elected officials would stop talking about this case, especially in a manner that is disrespectful to the rule of law and to the judicial branch and our function," Cahill said after the jury had been sequestered to begin deliberations on Monday.
"If they want to give their opinions, they should do so ... in a manner that is consistent with their oath to the Constitution," Cahill continued.
The judge’s comments came after Chauvin defense attorney Eric Nelson argued that Waters’s comments could have prejudiced the jury and were grounds for a mistrial.“We have U.S. representatives threatening acts of violence in relation to this specific case. It's mind-boggling,” Nelson said to Cahill. Judge criticizes Waters for remarks during Chauvin trial
