The Court proposes the following statement of the case to be read to potential jurors during
voir dire:
In 2012, Defendant San Pablo Police Officer Mark Galios initiated a
traffic stop of a car in which Akinlabi Minter was a passenger. The
car pulled into a gas station in San Pablo and an encounter between
Officer Galios and Mr. Minter followed. The encounter ended with
Officer Galios shooting and killing Mr. Minter. The plaintiffs in this
case are the children of Mr. Minter. The Plaintiffs claim that their
father posed no threat to Officer Galios and that Officer Galios’
actions were therefore unlawful. Officer Galios denies their claims.
The Court will discuss the above statement with the parties on Monday morning.
