Hi, I'm Reuters Legal columnist Hassan Kanu and I focus on access to justice, race, and equality under law. I wrote about the Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd jury verdicts where the defendants in both cases were found guilty of depriving Arbery and Floyd of their civil rights. Ask me anything! Posted: 15 Mar 2022 10:07 AM PDT Hi Reddit, Hassan Kanu here. I write columns for Reuters Legal focusing on access to justice, race and equality under law. One of my recent columns explores how the verdicts in the Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd cases managed to deliver a small measure of accountability when the defendants in both cases were found guilty of depriving Arbery and Floyd of their civil rights. Arbery's killers were also found guilty of committing hate crimes, a rare, but very important, outcome. Floyd's case also delivered an important milestone when police officers were held criminally responsible for a colleague's excessive force, another justice system rarity. Ask me anything!
