Renee Good shooting: Judge orders federal government to turn over evidence for private review
Minnesota sues DOJ, DHS over evidence in Renee Good, Alex Pretti shootings
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced a lawsuit on Tuesday over being blocked out from accessing evidence in the shootings of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and Julio Sosa-Celis at the hands of federal officers in Minneapolis. FOX 9's Soyoung Kim has the story.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A judge ruled Thursday that unredacted evidence from the shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent must be turned over for a private court review.
Court orders federal government to release information for review
What we know:
A U.S. District Court judge has given the federal government three weeks to turn over a large amount of information related to the shooting of Renee Good for an "in camera review."
This means the judge will review these records privately, and only the court will see them for now.
This latest order comes from a previous case involving Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent accused of fatally shooting Good. In that earlier case, Ross said he was dragged by the vehicle of a man he was trying to arrest.
The man involved in that earlier case requested the full file on the Good investigation as part of his effort to appeal his conviction.
The State of Minnesota is also suing the federal government to get access to the same information about the Good shooting.
Information the court is asking for
Dig deeper:
The court is ordering the federal government to provide the following evidence and information, unredacted, for the review:
- Jonathan Ross's complete training and personnel files
