OFFICER MOHAMED NOOR'S MURDER VERDICT OVERTURNED

by Bob Walsh

You will likely remember the circumstances.  Mohamad Noor was a Minneapolis P D officer.  He was a Somali Muslim.  The powers that be really, really wanted a Muslim officer on the force, to the point where they held his hand and covered his back while he stumbled thru training.  

In 2017 he shot and killed an Australian woman, Justine Ruszczyk Damond, who also had U S citizenship.  She had summoned the cops to report a suspected sexual assault near her home.  He fired his weapon while seated in his car, killing Damond.  HE was found guilty of third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter and sentenced to 12 1/2 years on the murder beef.  He was not sentenced for the manslaughter conviction.

The case will now go back to the district court where he will be sentenced for the manslaughter beef.  Since he has been in the can for 28 months and the presumptive sentence for the manslaughter charge is 4 years he is likely to be out late this year.
