⚡️QUESTION - What is one practical and immediate solution that can help decrease killings by law enforcement? Comment on our Youtube channelhttps://youtu.be/kukAhLllJZc

Our guest Richard Celestin operates his own law firm as a criminal defense attorney since 2014 and his consulting company since 2009. Richard Anthony Celestin is a graduate of The City University of New York School of Law. While at CUNY Law, he focused his studies on criminal defense and juvenile justice. Prior to entering law school, and since becoming an attorney, he has directed his work towards underrepresented and at-risk youth via the not-for-profit sector and with alternative-to-detention programs in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens. He offers his knowledge and insight into the juvenile and criminal justice areas by participating in panel discussions and conducting workshops throughout New York City addressing issues and concerns that affect communities of color, primarily the rising arrest and incarceration rates of youth of color. Richard also serves as a consultant for various organizations seeking to develop youth-based programs within the community, practices various areas of the law, and is an adjunct professor at two CUNY colleges, teaching criminal justice, social justice and professional development. In addition to working with youth involved in the juvenile and criminal justice systems, Mr. Celestin created a limited liability corporation in 2009, Richard Celestin Consulting Group, LLC, for the purposes of developing and providing legal skill development, self-awareness, youth empowerment, and consequential thinking programs to elementary, middle and high school students in Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Long Island, particularly with youth of color. Under the LLC, Richard operates the Young Debaters Program, which has been implemented in over 50 schools and focuses on teaching students the skills behind debate, public speaking and oral advocacy. A video about the Young Debaters program - https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=12&v=ZfEjM5pvJbI&feature=emb_logo

As a motivational speaker, Richard has over 10 years’ experience providing relevant, passionate and empowering workshops and speeches to youth, young adults, and professionals. Ranging from small, intimate workshops or professional development sessions to large graduations, Richard brings a unique perspective and unmatched energy to his speaking engagements. The key to Richard’s success is that he speaks from personal experience, sharing stories of success and failure that he has lived as opposed to reading about from other sources, which develops trust and respect from the audience. Mr. Celestin has also self-published two books, his first book entitled “The Hard Facts About Soft Skills” and recently an e-book entitled “Embracing Adversity- Finding Power and Strength in Life’s Most Challenging Times”.

⚡️QUESTION - Do you agree with the current criminal charges? 

Criminal attorney James Kan shares his analysis of the charges against former cop Derek Chauvin and the other officers. Chauvin is charged with 3rd degree murder (Perpetrating Eminently Dangerous Act and Evincing Depraved Mind) and 2nd degree manslaughter (Culpable Negligence Creating Unreasonable Risk). On June 3, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison amended the charges against Chauvin to include unintentional second-degree murder under the felony murder doctrine, alleging that Chauvin killed Floyd in the course of committing assault in the third degree. Other three officers at the scene were charged with aiding and abetting murder.  James also shares tips on starting to practice criminal law out of law school. Thank you James Kan! Contact him at www.nklaw.us  He is only licensed in Texas.

📒 Show Notes 📒   STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE 5/29/2020 1️⃣ "On May 25, 2020, someone called 911 and reported that a man bought merchandise from Cup Foods at 3759 Chicago Avenue in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota with a counterfeit $20 bill.  2️⃣ At 8:08 p.m., Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) Officers Thomas Lane and J.A. Kueng arrived with their body worn cameras (BWCs) activated and running....Once handcuffed, Mr. Floyd became compliant and walked with Officer Lane to the sidewalk and sat on the ground at Officer Lane's direction... 3️⃣ Officers Kueng and Lane stood Mr. Floyd up and attempted to walk Mr. Floyd to their squad car at 8:14 p.m. Mr. Floyd stiffened up, fell to the ground, and told the officers he was claustrophobic... 4️⃣While standing outside the car, Mr. Floyd began saying and repeating that he could not breathe. The defendant went to the passenger side and tried to get Mr. Floyd into the car...The defendant pulled Mr. Floyd out of the passenger side of the squad car at 8:19:38 p.m. and Mr. Floyd went to the ground face down and still handcuffed. Kueng held Mr. Floyd's back and Lane held his legs. The defendant placed his left knee in the area of Mr. Floyd's head and neck. Mr. Floyd said, "I can't breathe" multiple times and repeatedly said, "Mama" and "please,"... 5️⃣ At 8:24:24, Mr. Floyd stopped moving. At 8:25:31 the video appears to show Mr. Floyd ceasing to breathe or speak. Lane said, "want to roll him on his side." Kueng checked Mr. Floyd's right wrist for a pulse and said, "I couldn't find one." .. 6️⃣  At 8:27:24, the defendant removed his knee from Mr. Floyd's neck. An ambulance and emergency medical personnel arrived..The defendant had his knee on Mr. Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds in total. Two minutes and 53 seconds of this was after Mr. Floyd was non-responsive. Police are trained that this type of restraint with a subject in a prone position is inherently dangerous. Defendant is in custody."

Welcome to Lawyer Up with John Ting. The idea of this podcast accumulated from the years of experience as an attorney observing first-hand implicit bias and learning how government policies can significantly affect every one of us, then catapulted to now post-death of George Floyd. We interview attorneys and stakeholders that have committed their life's work to making change happen, even if incremental. We thank them for their deeds.  We also encourage more attorneys to give back through the stories of others. Let's learn together, so we can make the change that we want to see happen.
