Minn. AG Ellison: No Evidence Race Played a Factor in George Floyd’s Death

‘But we only charge those crimes that we had evidence that we could put in front of a jury to prove’

EXCERPT:

PELLEY: "Was this a hate crime?"
ELLISON: "I wouldn’t call it that, because hate crimes are crimes where there’s an explicit motive of bias. We don’t have any evidence that Derek Chauvin factored in George Floyd’s race as he did what he did."
