Tamburino Talks Law: George Floyd case and how change of venue request will be determined

All four defendants in the George Floyd murder case have asked the court for a change of venue due to negative media attention, and many people are wondering “what is venue” and what does it mean to change venue. Listen here to my full analysis on Tamburino Talks Law or see my article below. Here’s a quick explanation: Venue means where the crime allegedly happened is where the trial will be held. For example, if a liquor store is robbed in Blaine, MN, the robbery trial will happen in Anoka County because Blaine is located in Anoka County.

While individuals can face a misdemeanor fine of up to $100 or a busine...

Tamburino Talks Law: Could the Minneapolis Debate over Police Funding Hit a Veto Wall?

The death of George Floyd led to calls to dramatically change how public safety is funded in the City of Minneapolis. Now that debate is reaching a new milestone. The Minneapolis City Council and Mayor Jacob Frey are in a budget battle. They're at odds over a series of cuts to the Police Department budget. The cuts are part of a proposal introduced last month by members of the council which takes $7.7 million from the Police Department's budget to fund other public safety programs and initiatives. Frey is actively considering a budget veto due to the permanent cut to officer capacity. Council members can offer amendments to the budget before voting on the plan Wednesday, December 9th. But that won't be the end of this showdown. Here is my take on how this could all play out in Tamburino Talks Law
