Nasser said Detroit Police Officer Sgt. Reginald Beasley used “racial coercion” to try to get Shaw to talk when Beasley told Shaw that people from Detroit rip up jury summons, and that he may be tried by a jury of white people instead of people who “look like” him.
"I believe that statement, taken under the totality of the circumstances, would show a complete lack of empathy as it relates to Miranda, and more importantly, using racially biased terms in order to coerce an alleged admission," Nasser said.
Demitrus Shaw is charged with two counts of murder, 16 counts of attempted murder and 18 counts of felony firearm.
