On this week's court TV podcast, there was a judge's ruling in the George Floyd case

that will have a major impact on the trial going forward.

Court TV's Julie Jeunet will join me with all the details.

Floyd's death prompted protests in Minneapolis that lasted for days.

Should participating in those protests exclude someone from serving on the jury in this trial.

Defense attorney Eklem Mercy says no and will tell us why.

This is the court TV podcast'm Vinny Palatan. Thanks so much for listening,

downloading and being a part of what is taking place at Court TV,

and let me tell you folks, in case you don't know,

what we do at Court TV is gavel to gavel coverage

of the nation's biggest trials,

and 2021 is going to be huge. You know we've had this COVID

shutdown so all these trials are just backed up and they're lined up and

ready to go on court TV which is a television network and we will be covering

them and the first mega trial of 2021 right now is scheduled to be the George Floyd case.

And I don't have to tell you how big this one is,

but I will, because that's my job.

This is a case that has influenced our system of justice, has changed the way many people look at our system of justice and it's also

from my perspective a wake-up call you know a wake-up call to say, hey, don't forget about this branch of the government, folks.

Important things happen here in the judicial branch, and that's what we focus on at Court TV.

So with that being said, we're getting right for this case.
