Kim Potter trial: BLM protester accused of intimidating judge held without bond as Daunte Wright case starts

The Minneapolis Black Lives Matter activist charged with intimidating the judge presiding over the trial for former police officer Kim Potter was ordered held without bond on Tuesday – meaning he will remain jailed at least for the first two weeks of the high profile case involving Daunte Wright's death.

Minneapolis civil rights attorney Jordan Kushner asserted that Rice’s participation in a protest at the assumed home of Judge Regina Chu were within his constitutional First Amendment protections of free speech. 

"Once put in context," the video will show Rice was not trying to threaten the judge, Kushner said.
