DEFENDANT JASON VAN DYKE’S SUPPLEMENT ‘10 PREVIOUSLY FILED MOTIONS FOR A CHANGE OF PLACE OF ‘TRIAL AND TO STRIKE JURY PANEL, ‘NOW COMES the Defendant, Jason Van Dyke, by and through his attorneys, The “Herbert Law Firm, respectfully moves to supplement his previous filings for a change of place of trial and to strike tho current juror panel because of prejudice. In support thereof, Mr. Van Dyke stiates as follows: On September 5, 2018, approximately 200 jurors entered the Leighton Criminal Comthouse via the parking garage east of the courthouse. The path to the courthouse was surrounded by barricades on either side of the walkway in an effort to control hundreds of protestors who had gathered to protest the killing of Laguan McDonald. he protestors held signs with Jason Van Dyke’s picture with the words, “guilty of racist murder” and “conviet JasonVan Dyke” to name a couple, The eommon theme of the p racist murderer and he must be conv! have not reco; received significant media coverage which paints a pictur srotest was that Jason Van Dyke was & joted of murder. It was not possible for any single juror to jgnized the protests and seen and heard the calls for Van Dyiko’s guilt. The protests ¢ of the violent and prejudicial tone expressed therein. Exhibit A represents an antcle published inthe Chicago Tribune by the reporter who has been hardly eritcal ducing his coverage of this case.

This day in which the potential jurors Chanee the rapper. ‘The responses to Jin the instant caso, the defendant has show cleat, pervasive, inflammatory and prejudicial coverage of his case by local media, Despite the valiant efforts of this Court to control the atmosphere and protect the rights of Mr, Van Dyke; the process ‘has failed and there is no way to ensure a fai trial in Cook County. The examples listed in this motion, and the other motions, are ‘uta very, very, small sampling of slories and bylines incessantly reported since the case's inception, Its difficult to even keep tack of the amount of prejudicial and inadmissible evidence which has been aired out in the public arena. The effects of the inflammatory and negative aspect ofthe media coverage in this case is best witnessed in the violent and harassing protests which have dogged the defendant and his family for years now. ‘The amount of distracting and jrrelevant information which is also reported further distorts the public's perception of this case. Making matters worse, the advent of the intemet and its potential for interactive communication « catapulted aleady negative and pervasive coverage to an entirely new level. be the most publicized coverage of a ‘with the public has ‘in fact, few would disagree that Mr. Van Dyke’s case may -protests which occurred on September 5, 2018, to criminal case in the history of our State. 1 which the jurors were forced to endure, should be enough to convince any seasonable mind that Mr. Van Dyke eamnot get a fur trial here. The Unites States Supreme Court has held that it isimpossible to receive a fair trial when the atmosphere surrounding the trial has become “eireus like.” Here, the atmosphere is worse. It is more “carnival” than “circus.” “The prejudice on September 5, 2018 cannot be ignored, nor can it be cuted by remedies such as wir dire a the prosecution has argued inthis case, Throughout these proceedings, ‘Mr. Van Dyke has demonstrated how the inflammatory atsnosphere surrounding his trial will prevent his ability from receiving a fair tial. A central concern which fas been expressed throughout the pre-trial proceedings is that a juror from Cook County will be paralyzed by fear to deliver & verdict other than guilty here. Itis abundantly clear that the community will riot if Van Dyke is not found guilty. It is impossible that a juror wil vote to aequit knowing that they must return to ‘their neighborhoods which have promised violence in the event ofa not guilty verdict. The barricades present during the protests only xcinforood the fear that jurors wil experience in this cease, The barricades wore undoubtedly seen as a way to protect the jurors from the violence and threats by the protestors. These jurors understand that when they retnmn home after a verdiet there will not be batricades in front of their homes. There will not be dozens ofamed law enforcement officers present. They will be alone, vulnerable and no doubt terrified. Mr, Van Dyke is entitled to a jury that can deliberate in a community and render a verdict freely without undue preseme fom outside influences. These simple tights are the bedrock of the ‘Anootican cviminal justice system; the presumption of innocence and the ight fo a trial by an jmpartial jury azo sanctified in our riminal justice system, “No principle is more firmly stablished in out system of criminal justice than the presumption of innocence.” Kentucky +4. Whorton, 444 U.S. 786, 190 (1979) (Stewart, J. dissenting). “The principle that there is a presumption of innocence in favor of the accused is the undoubted lav, axiomatic and elementary, und its enforcament lies atthe foundation of the ‘administration of our criminal law.”Coffin v. United States, 156 U.S. 432, 453 (1895) abrogated on other grounds. The United States Supreme Court in Bell v. Wolfish, 441 U.S. 520 (1979) stated: “The presumpiion of innocence is a doctrine that allocates the burden of proof in criminal ‘rials; #t also may serve ag an admonishment to the jury to judge an nvouser’s guilt or innovence solely on the evidence adduced at tril and not on the posis of suspicions that may srise drom the fact of his arrest, indictment, or cestody, or from other matters not introduced! as proof at tial Id, 8t 533. “The sixth amendment to the United States Constitution provides: “Eis all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.” US. Cost, Amend. VI. In the ease of Duncan v. Louisiana 391 U.S. 145 (1968), the United States Supreme Court found thatthe jury trel guarantees of the sixth amendment are fandamental tights made applicable to defendants in criminal cases in state courts via the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment, 1d, at 149. ‘The Court noted that the framers of the governmental oppression by placing a lay jury as a buffer between “inestimable safeguard against the corrupt or Constitution sought fo prevent the defendant and the state. This buffer acts as an overzealous prosecutor anc against the compliant, biased or eccentric judge." Id. at 156. However, these elementary rights for determining guilt are inexorably lacking ifthe juzy which is tasked with rendering judgment against a criminal defendant comes ‘with its snind indelibly tainted against him, Fallible men and women cannot reach a disinterested verdict based solely on what is presented at trial, when, such as here, their minds have been inundated for years with prejudicial publicity, devised to establish the guilt of the accused and resulting in @ presumption of guilt.LA Presumption of Brejudiee/Mcasures is insufficient, “Although in ordinary circumstances voir dire may be adequate to ensure ‘that an impartial jury is selected despite pretrial publicity, there are cireumstances in-which “inflammatory, prejudicial pretial publicity... 5 pervades or saturates the community 0810 render virtually impossible a far trial by an impartial jury drawn from that community.” Rideau v. Louisiana, 373 US. 723, 721 (1963). In such circumstances, the Supreme Court has “held that adverse pretrial publicity em create such a presumption of prejudice in a community that the jurors! claims that they can be impartial should not be believed.” Patton v. Yount, 467 U.S. 1025, 1031 (1984). Once damaging pretial publicity imbeds itself in the minds of the public, the trial becomes nothing more than a hollow formality. See McDonough v. Power quip. Inc., 464 US. 548, 558 (Blackmun, J., concurting) (“[T]he bias of ajuror will rarely be admitted by the juror himself, ‘partly because the juror may have an interest in concealing his own bias and partly because the juror may be unaware of it ") (quoting Smith v. Phillips, 455 US, 209, 221-22 (O'Connor, J. conouxing)). When the community from which jurors are drawn is sufficiently poisoned either by adverse publicity ox by the effects of the very events at issue, or both, a presumption of prejudice among potential jurors arises that roquires & change of venue. In those circumstances, voir dire cannot pesform its usual funotion of securing a fair and imperial jury See Mu'Min v. Virginia, 500 US. 415, 429-30 (1991); Patton v. Yount, 467 US. 1025, 1031-33, 1040 (1984); Murphy v. Florida, 421 US. 794, 799 (1975); Sheppard v, Maxwell, 384 US. 333, 362-63 (1966); Estes v. Texas, 381 U.S. 932, 550-51 (1965); Rideau » Louisiana, 373 US. 723, 726.21 (1963); livin y, Dowd, 366 US. 117, 725-28 (1961) In Irvin, defendant wes charged with six murders in a small Indiana tov, and police press releases announcing Irvin's confession were “intensively publicized.” 366 U.S. at 719-20.Although each juror gave assurances of faimess to the tial court in voir dire, the Court examtined ‘the “popular news media” surrounding the trial and the four-week, 2,738-page voir dire record to test whether these assurances were legally adequate. Id, at 720, 724-28. The Court concluded they wete not, ‘The “build-up of prejudice” inthe media was “clear and convincing”; the jury poo! was overrun with scores of jurors with disqualifying biases; and eight seated jurors came fo voir dire believing livin was guilty. 1d. at 725-27. Bven though those jurors later promised they could be fair, the Court held their statements could not be believed under the circumstances. Id. at 721, While Irvin may be understood as a case addressing the actnal prejudices of a particular jury, the Cowst generalized the presumed prejudice mle in a trilogy of eases stating with Rideau. In that caso, the Court held that “only a change of venue was constitutionally sufficient” 10 ensure “en impartial jury,” because the jurors! community “had been exposed repeatedly and in depth tothe prejudicial pretrial publicity there involved.” Gropp! v. Wisconsin, 400 U'S. 505, 510-11 (1971) (desesibing Rideau). The defendant in Rideau gave a filmed confession to murder, which was broadcast on local television stations. 373 U.S. at 723-25. The Supreme Court presumed potential jurors were projuciced by the publicity, and therefore reversed the convictions “without pausing to examine a particularized transcript of the voir dire ” to see whether it actually produced impartial jurors. d. at 727 . The Coutt did so even though voir dire showed that only theee of the 12 jurors had seen the broadcast; none of the three “testified to holding opinions of [defendant's] guilt; and all three testified they could “give the defendant the prosumption of innocence” and “base their decision solely om the evidence. » Id. at 731-32 (Clark, J, dissonting). The Court explained: “Any subsequent court proceedings in a community so pervasively exposed to such a spectacle could be but e hollow: formality.” 1d. at 726. Here,there has been extensive media coverage concerning false, misleading and inadmissible evidence, including the Garrity protected statements of Mr. Van Dyke. estes».

Murder,” he told attorneys to keep those watching from the courtroom gallery inline, ‘The woman, who was sitting in the row reserved for McDonald's family and friends, was escorted out of the courtroom by sheriff's deputies once the shirt was noticed. She was allowed back inside after turning it inside ‘out and covering it with a sweater. “Both sides have got to control what’s going én here because I'm not going to tolerate it” said Gaughan, who has held spectators in conternptin other high-profile tials, “I’m going to start putting people in jal.” ‘Meanwhile, McDonald's relatives believe they were mistreated after a mix-up meant only eight of the 23 family ‘mombets in attendance could get seats inside the courtroom.

While the process to pick a jury has begun, Van Dyke's defense team conld still decide that it would prefer Gaughan alone determine the veteran officer's fate. ‘The defense has not formally declared its decision — one it can make without Gauighan’s permission until the 12th juror is sworn in. “Another unanswered question hangs over the selection process: Gaughan has said he will not ralo on the defense’s request to move the trial outside Chicago until after the jury questioning has begun. merepeau@chicagotribune.com sstelair@chieagotribune.com thriscoe@chicagotribune.com Copyright® 2018, Chleago Tibune ‘This articlo is related to: Homicide, Jason Van Dyke, Laquan MoDonald Missin comments?

Today, Van Dyke’s trial for murder finally begins. In the intervening years, the Chicago Police Department and the city’s political establishment did everything they could to keep this trial from ever taking place. It is going forward for one reason and one reason only: because the people of Chicago refused to be silent. Mass public pressure, protest and activism brought Laquan’s murder to light, compelled the city to release dash-cam video of the incident and stopped the authorities from sweeping another police murder under the rug. It’s difficult to overstate the significance of Laquan’s murder and the popular backlash against the failed cover-up by Chicago police and politicians. ‘The system is designed to shield police from accountability.

On Tuesday, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced that he ‘wouldn’t run for re-election in the election to be held next February. Emanuel’s handling of the Laquan MeDonald case and the subsequent federal civil rights investigation of the Chicago police were cited by the Chicago Tribune as central to his decision. Finally, the trial comes at an inopportune time for the city’s political class, which is straining to contain the fallout from the horrific levels of gun violence that have again catapulted Chicago to the center of a national conversation. aga of 12 hiterscestworkree/2018/08/5/ihe-ovemant‘ne worament thet brought Laquan’s iar owe | SockeWocker ora This is the story of how a popular movement forced the city of Chicago to stop stonewalling justice and put a cop on trial. But it is also an appeal — for activists to seize this opportunity to win justice for Laquan, while shining a spotlight on the entire police department and the politicians who cover for their violence and brutality. ‘THE DATE was November 24, 2015 - two days before Thanksgiving. ‘The city of Chicago had spent the last year and more than $5 million fighting calls to release the dash- cam video of Laquan’s last moments. Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy and Mayor Emanuel wortied that the video’s depiction of a cold- blooded murder would spark an outpouring of protest. When a judge finally ordered the release of the video, they were proven right. ‘The protests began immediately. itefeocttstnerkeror20%8/00)8;he-woverent-that-brought-aquans Kilts jena, 03 aN age a of 13‘no moverhent th aught Lager lor oil | Sclaer Wonkar ora ‘The city hoped that releasing the footage before Thanksgiving would mute protests, but they were wrong on that point. On Black Friday — the day after ‘Thanksgiving — thousands of Chicagoans choked the sidewalks up and down the Magnificerit Mile, Chicago's high-end retail and tourist destination. The demonstrations that took place after the video was release and went viral punctured the blue wall of silence in ways that years of previous organizing hadn't. People took to the streets to demand justice with such frequency that radio traffic reports regularly included protest updates. Emanuel was heckled with cries of “16 shots” at every public appearance. ‘The Black Friday protest turned into the largest Black Lives Matter demonsttation in Chieago to date, because organizers made a concerted effort to reach out to the broadest possible number of people. The numbers ballooned when. notable figures like Jesse Jackson Sr. tpeciohorher.rg/2010/09/06/the-novement-tha-brovoh-Jyuono-Hiler ttl syne, 1109 AN Page Sof 18‘Tho mover that brown aqua’ ler oll | Solan Wer ora syste, #09 a and Father Michael Pfleger, and unions like the Chicago Teachers Union, echoed the call to mobilize. Thousands of people occupied the sidewalks along Michigan Avenue, essentially shutting down large sections of the shopping district — likely amounting to millions of dollars in lost sales on the biggest shopping day of the year. ‘The event demonstrated that the racist corruption within the Chicago Police Department (CPD) — as well as the hatred of Rahm — could unite labor unions, church congregations and Black radicals. It made the fight against racism a citywide issue. ‘THE PROTESTS in the fall and winter of 2015 caused a crisis in city polit First, there was a string of forced resignations of city and police officials, including Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy — who, in a darldy ironic turn, htpfsoenstworkcoa/2010/0096!he-mavemontthat-brought-taquan-Ailar t-te Pao 6 of 13‘The movement tha brought Lagusn' er orl | SoiaistWorkorona announced this past March, long before Emanuel’s decision not to run again, that he would campaign. for mayor. McCarthy claimed farcically that he was running to “save Black lives.” Next, the protests caused the dissolution of the toothless Independent Police Review Authority and the creation of a new, though still toothless, Police Accountability Task Force, led by Lori Lightfoot, who is also currently running for mayor, Then there was the ouster of Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez for failing to prosecute Van Dyke. An effective #ByeAnita campaign led to the election of Kim Foxx, who was considered a progressive alternative to Alvarez. Fora time, it even appeared that Emanuel might fall. His approval rating dipped to 18 percent. Calls for the resignation of the politically connected mayor of the nation’s third-largest city issued not just from social-justice activists, but also from many of Rahm’s tppoottsorkerog/2018)08/0s/the-sovement-tha-brought-laans-orto-na ‘yey, 1:08 AM Page of 23itexisocalstorkorera/2018/00)6/the-mewement-thl-broush-fonane- Alaotra ght agun r to a Saber sre, 4 supporters, including prominent Black religious figures. In the end, Emanuel held on, but his announcement that he wouldn’t run for a third term when Chicago voters head to the polls in February is partly a delayed consequence of the 2015 protests and the many forms that resistance to Emanuel’s pro-cop agenda have taken since then. A number of factors led to the politically disruptive impact of the winter 2015 protests. Chicago's long and visible problem with abusive policing, killer cops and even police torture of Black residents on the city’s South Side has been well documented. ‘When demonstrations erupted in response to the police murders of Eric Garner in Staten Island, New ‘York, and Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in July and August 2014, an anti-racist movement was born: Black Lives Matter. ‘The nationwide mobilizations that followed frightened Emanuel and ge 8 of 8“The movement tha brought Laquon’s il to a | SoclestWorker.oa the CPD, leading them to cover up the horror of Van Dyke's shooting of MeDonald captured on video, In the months to come, the protests continued nationally, most notably ‘when Baltimore rose against the police murder of Freddie Gray. ‘The pot was already boiling when a judge finally ordered the city to release the video of Laquan’s murder — and that’s when the lid came off. ‘THOUGH VAN Dyke is the one in the defendant’s chair, this case put the entire CPD on trial — and there’s a lot to answer for. Just in the past few weeks, the CPD has been in the news for murdering another fleeing Black man, attempting to entrap poor Black residents with a “bait truck” full of Nikes, the mysterious death of 15- year-old Steven Rosenthal, the release of the terms of the federal consent decree surrounding the CPD’s long history of biased policing, and a damning new report tpfeclaet worker o2018/a9/Hhe-rvernant-that-iroughtlequans lieth sieve, 109 AM Pago 0 of 13“Tho movorent thet brought Laquan’ ier to Wl | SosastWorkerara by investigative journalists on racial disparity and the use of force by the ce. On top of that, Emanuel and other politicians have responded to the summer surge of gun violence with supposed solutions that will only add to the problem of police terror directed against Chicago’s communities of color. ‘Van Dyke’s trial also underscores the systematic failure of multiple Cook County state’s attorneys to hold killer cops accountable. Anita Alvarez, the state’s attorney who initially dragged her feet in bringing charges against Van Dyke, also allowed the officer who killed Rekia Boyd to go free after charging him with manslaughter instead of first-degree murder. Driven by justifiable outrage, many people active in the Black Lives Matter movement in Chicago organized to vote out Alvarez and replace her with the supposedly progressive Kim Foxx, who campaigned on a promise to use special prosecutors in all police ‘tps fecetaisiworkorx/201F/09/05nhe-movernent-that-Srough-Hequans- lor to-4ak serie, 1:08 AM i | | |“The movea that rough Lavon’ ier to a | SoealetNerkarorg S790, 1:09 An shooting cases. But Foxx quickly backpedaled on that pledge, rejecting the call for a special prosecutor in the trial of Robert Rialmio, the cop who killed Quintonio LeGrier and Bettie Jones in the weeks following the McDonald protest. Rialmo ultimately avoided any accountability — despite the fact the police review board found the shooting “unjustified.” ‘This is just the most recent example of the bitter fruit borne of activists’ efforts to elect Foxx as a mearis to address the rot at the heart of Chicago’s police and criminal justice system. Sadly, this turn to electoral organizing took place in the midst of the protests against McDonald’s murder, and with calls for the resignation of Rahm coming from all corners of the city. Today, many movement activists still consider Foxx’s election a victory — yet the court system and the state’s attorney office have all been complicit. in allowing Chicago police to dodge accountability. upsjfsoclatstworerrg/2018/00)06)the-moveent-tis-rough-taguniskBetoa Page tof 18‘The movement tha aug Lagan’ Hila to al | SotaWoterory yon 08 a Instead, the task of imposing even a shred of accountability on police has fallen time and time again on. victims’ families, activists, students and community organizations fighting in the streets for justice.
