KARE111 There’s just been very deep sorrow at Justine’s death,” Michael Usher, a presenter for Seven News in Australia, told KARE 11 in a FaceTime interview. “Why a policeman would pull a gun so quickly — we don’t quite understand that. Certainly, that happens in Australia, but not in those sort of circumstances.
Though the murder happened a year ago, one thing potential jurors, nor anyone else for that matter, has seen or heard: A statement from Noor himself.
He has refused to submit to interviews and has not said anything publicly about the shooting. His silence cannot be used against him in the trial, according to a ruling from the judge this month, nor can a pre-hiring psychological examination.
“The evidence in the case supports findings that the defendant knew exactly what he was doing and that he intended to do it,” prosecutors wrote, adding that the circumstances surrounding the crime show that the defendant “acted with the intent to kill and that he fired at Damond from no more than six feet away.”
Still, the Australian public has been frustrated by the lack of answers — and many hope the trial will provide some. They will be waiting to see if Noor testifies. It is his constitutional right not to, if he so chooses.
“I think it’s probably fair to say there’s some building anger about the fact he hasn’t given any interviews,” Usher said, “that his silence has spoken volumes.”

More puzzling than his silence is the silence of his partner that day?
I feel the same way. Why I wonder
HANG THIS MUSLIM SCUM
Not before time, should have been done immediately. To many exceptions made for muslims, because of their culture.
Maybe he will get ‘Jussie Smollett justice’.
This country has leaders with blood on their hands. They are complicit and are accountable gor all deaths perpetrated by these animals. They are animals also, just dressed more normal. Minnesota is full of both. I refuse to purvhase anything from Minnesota because I want the companies to leave the wretched place but they hire these goonies from 3rd world shi holes instead of moving to a decent state with humans.
Why do we keep letting these filthy bastards into our country. They are primal animals and thousands of years behind civilization.
Australians want answers, here it is: the killer is a Somalian Muslum. All you need to know.
I just now noticed the moron walks with a wierd rocking motion. Reminds me of Dustin Hoffman in Rainman.
He should get the death penalty.
Absolutely, but I’ve read the state doesn’t capital punishment.
What threat was this poor unarmed woman?
If this miscreant walks free, I hope people with any brains left will leave this state.
GP. Minnesota is the worst place for this trial, considering it is loaded with leftists and muslims and a governor who considers muslims his “brothers and sisters,” not to mention a muslim attorney general, Keith Ellison. I just hope he gets any jail time at all.
Scenario: The defense will state he was not properly trained as he was fast tracked into the position leaving a wide gap that his motives were accidental they will likely state his being a foreigner also plays into understanding American law his Islamic background will not be mentioned for fear of Islamic riots and backlash..he goes free without any punishment and leaves the nation due to death threats.
This is what the UK will get when it puts these savages in the police force in the name of “diversity”.
UK con`stab`ulary (police) have been putting crescent hyenas in uniform at least five years now- with most unarmed fortunately.
How could there be any question about this man’s guilt? A cold blooded murder. And as a very minor aside I wonder if the second cop in the cruiser can hear yet? Noor discharged his pistol very close to the partner’s head.
Hopefully the trial will result in his conviction. And, the death penalty. Although, I’m not s sure that life in prison (with no possible parole) might not be the worst sentence.
Many will be watching.

He will pay nothing for murdering this person of non-color. We Minnesotans worship our muz. I am ashamed.
Minnesotans are filled with guilt. You would have to come and see the number of 70 yr old men that still sport a pony tail. Or the old bitches that wear a ribbon in their hair.
It’s painful….
Hate to say it, but you’re probably right.
