“...that day on the riverbank, when she looked towards her two children to tell them to get out of the sun, Israel’s shadow was the first thing she noticed missing.”

Amazing work by #JerryBlackwell and all the attorneys who prosecuted this case, both in court and behind the scenes. Thankful for the opportunity to have trained as a lawyer at this firm. ❤️🙏🏽to all the witnesses and family members of #GeorgeFloyd #proud alum @BlackwellBurke
Had the privilege of working for @BlackwellBurke my first years out of law school. I remember watching those mock trials and learning so much.
In his private practice based in Minnesota, Jerry Blackwell has represented a series of large corporations. He joined the attorney general's office just for this case on a pro bono basis, meaning he will not be paid. nytimes.com/2021/03/29/us/je…
