AI Summary
Federal prosecutors in Minnesota have been ordered to turn over critical information regarding ICE officer Jonathan Ross, who shot and killed Renee Good, in a separate case involving Ross. Prosecutors must provide records, including Ross’s personnel file and body-worn camera footage, to a magistrate judge by May 1. This order came in response to a motion from defense attorneys for Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala, whom Ross attempted to apprehend in a June confrontation where Muñoz-Guatemala was later convicted of assault on a federal officer. The defense seeks dismissal of charges or a new trial for Muñoz-Guatemala, arguing the materials could show Ross presented a similar danger in both incidents. The materials will first go to a magistrate judge for review and redaction before being released to the defense team.
What's Being Done
Prosecutors must provide records, including personnel files and body camera footage, to a magistrate judge by May 1.
