A former Minnesota police officer has pleaded not guilty to three charges stemming from the 2017 fatal shooting of an unarmed Australian woman that provoked outrage in the United States and in the victim's homeland.
Noor has been charged with second-degree and third-degree murder, as well as second-degree manslaughter. The trial is scheduled to start April 1. He was fired after being charged. The 40-year-old Damond had moved to the US to marry her American fiance, Don Damond, whose name she had already legally adopted, changing from her maiden name Ruszczyk.
Among the evidence she deemed inadmissible was information about Noor's prior work performance, past psychological exam results and his decision not to speak with investigators, according to local media reports.
