Judge Questions Civil Rights Activist in Legal Hearing

A Fifth Circuit judge, Edith Jones, raises critical questions about civil rights activism in a recent hearing involving activist DeRay McKesson, drawing parallels to the government’s prosecutions of Capitol rioters from January 6, 2021. The court is reviewing a police officer’s lawsuit alleging that McKesson is liable for injuries sustained during a protest in Baton Rouge in 2013, which was previously dismissed by a Louisiana district court judge.

Judge Jones emphasized the implications of government actions in prosecuting those involved in the Capitol riot while interrogating the claims against McKesson. “The government criminally charged groups that denied they were organizing J6,” she noted, suggesting that the intertwining of activism and legal accountability is under scrutiny as the case unfolds. This unique legal standpoint invites further examination of how civil rights protests are viewed within the judicial system.
