$25,000 dollar bond and well beneath their accepted bail menu schedule for Criminal Homicide.

This officer shot a running suspect in the back. There were some dubious accounts where he alleged the suspect turned and aimed a gun at him. Video later produced didn't show that.

Yeah the guy was a felon, yeah he had a gun in his hand, and yeah he could really run and I could see no reason for shooting him dead in the back of the head and spine. He posed no risk to anyone and had the officer accepted he had been outrun, they could have caught him another day.

Just somebody getting high.

A trial date has been set for the white police officer charged with murder for shooting a black man during an on-duty foot pursuit in 2018.

The trial, which will pit Nashville's top law enforcement agencies against one another, is set to begin March 16, according to an order filed Thursday by Judge Monte Watkins.

Police officer Andrew Delke shot Daniel Hambrick, 25, three times in the back during a July 2018 foot chase in North Nashville. Activists have cited Hambrick's death as a violent example of racial bias on the police force.

Delke, 26, is the first Nashville officer ever to be charged after an on-duty shooting.

The Fraternal Order of Police has rallied behind the officer, starting a website and buying billboard advertising to poke holes in the case and criticize District Attorney Glenn Funk, who is leading the prosecution.

A change of venue is necessary when a fair trial is unlikely," Watkins wrote in his order. "The defense is proposing travel to another jurisdiction, select a jury and trying the case in that jurisdiction. Such a move presupposes that the other adjacent jurisdictions in Tennessee are unaware of the publicity surrounding this case.

"That is highly unlikely, since those jurisdictions have the same news coverage as Davidson County. "

"Every time this case goes to court, there is publicity and there's a hearing," District Attorney General Glenn Funk said on Monday at a hearing over the motion. "And yet there are no throngs of people showing up for every one of these hearings..”

“Although the case has received extensive pretrial publicity, this Court is of the opinion that jurors can be fair and impartial," he wrote.

Delke's case has been scheduled to begin jury selection in early July. It has been previously reset due to scheduling conflicts and precautions around COVID-19.

I hate these all too often occurrences and fear that he skates on a “protecting the public” defense but he has put himself in a corner with the self defense story. It sounds too like the PD wants to make this a media trial as much as anybody.

This happened in 2018 and has only drawn five comments?

I noticed this last night and figured some people are shy because of the political potential of the topic. I can understand that if so.

DA eyes Floyd case expert for Nashville officer’s trial

Prosecutors in Tennessee who are preparing for the first-degree murder trial of a Nashville police officer next month may try to call a law enforcement expert witness who served similarly in the case against Derek Chauvin in George Floyd’s death.

A judge will consider whether to let Jody Stiger, a Los Angeles Police Department sergeant, take the stand to testify against Officer Andrew Delke. The white officer, now 27, is to stand trial next month in the fatal shooting of Daniel Hambrick, a 25-year-old Black man who was shot from behind in July 2018 while fleeing from the officer on foot and while carrying a gun.

Delke’s attorney, David Raybin, in a hearing Tuesday accused the prosecutors of wanting to “inject that case into this case” and called it a “bait and switch” to try to introduce Stiger past a scheduling deadline, after seeing him take the stand during the Chauvin trial in April.

The Delke trial is scheduled to start July 12.
