Jury selection began Monday, April 1, 2019, in the trial of a former Minneapolis police officer who fatally shot the unarmed Australian woman.Ms Damond, a 40-year-old life coach and yoga instructor who lived in Minneapolis and was weeks away from marrying her American fiance, called police just before midnight on July 15, 2017, after she heard a woman’s screams and feared a sexual assault was taking place near her home.
Noor’s partner Officer Matthew Harrity was “startled” and “perceived that his life was in danger” when he heard a “muffled voice or whisper” and thump on the squad car when Ms Damond suddenly appeared, according to prosecutors.Source:AP
