Pig blood vandals accused of attacking home of Derek Chauvin defender's ex-wife
Vandals accused of covering the home of a woman connected with the George Floyd case with pig blood have gone on trial, ABC 7 reported.
The victim, identified in court only as "Jane Doe," had her California home splashed from end to end with pig blood and a severed pig's head was left on her doorstep. During her testimony Tuesday, Jane Doe said she is a former police officer with the city of Santa Rosa and the ex-wife of Barry Brodd, who was a use of force expert in the Floyd case who testified in the defense of now-incarcerated former Minneapolis Police officer Derek Chauvin.
Chauvin was found guilty of killing Floyd by kneeling on his neck, a death that sparked days of furious protests nationwide.
Brodd said just this April that he felt Chauvin was justified in his actions.
Jane Doe testified that even before the attack took place, she was concerned about being targeted and installed a surveillance camera that ended up capturing the vandals.
Two more defendants are accused of also using pig blood to cover a statue in the Santa Rosa shopping plaza.
The hearing will continue Wednesday.
