TRIAL PREVIEW: Manuel Ellis
Earlier in season 3, we covered the death of Manuel Ellis at the hands of 3 Tacoma Police officers. After a last minute motion to dismiss from the officers’ defense teams failed, the trial of these officers is set to begin with jury selection on 9/18.
As we get ready to cover the trial, I wanted to give you all a preview of what’s to come. for a more comprehensive background of the case, please go back and listen to season 3, episode 4 where we cover Manny's life and death in more detail.
Manny Ellis was a young Black man, doing his best to get by, just like the rest of us. He was a loving son, brother, and uncle. And he should still be alive today.
