Many potential jurors reported having heard about the case, including one who said she had a “visceral reaction” to the news. Most, though, reported they could put aside anything they had previously learned. “The flyers are posted right outside the courthouse where our jurors may walk back and forth,” said Assistant State’s Attorney Scott Clark.
Walowski said she would ask deputies to remove the flyers. She ruled that the family members’ right to free speech was not violated because they were able to post the flyers, but that did not preclude deputies from removing them from city property. French had served as an officer since April 2018, and was praised after her death by the department and community for her care and compassion.
A hearing last Tuesday offered a preview of what will likely be an emotionally charged trial when prosecutors played body-camera video of the traffic stop, including anguished moments after the shooting when an officer yelled “French” after she had fallen. Prosecutors agreed to silence some parts of the video, but large portions of it will be shown to the jury.
