After Lawyer Makes Case About George Floyd

A mistrial was declared last Friday in the Mississippi case of a black career criminal who seriously injured a white police officer with his vehicle.

There was no question that Demetrius O. Nabors, 27, ran officer Derick Knight down during a traffic stop, which caused the policeman’s shoulder to separate and several fractures to his spine.

The entire September 2020 incident was recorded on Knight’s body camera. Nabors was stopped for driving erratically and Knight approached the vehicle to conduct a field sobriety test. The officer testified in court that he then spotted a firearm in the vehicle, which caused Nabors to panic. At this point, Nabors decided to flee, hitting and dragging Knight for several feet until finally crashing his Buick LeSabre into a truck.

The jury was played the incriminating footage several times but was ultimately unmoved. Nabors was able to force a mistrial.
