Denver jury sides with woman charged with running over George Floyd protester

A woman who was charged with assault after striking a person with her SUV last summer during a protest following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis has been found not guilty of that charge by a Denver jury.

After jurors handed down their verdict on Friday, attorneys for the driver, Jennifer Watson, issued a statement on the firm’s Facebook page that said, in part, “Ms. Watson should not have been charged. We appreciate the jury’s verdict of not guilty to the assault charge.”

However, jurors did find Watson guilty of a misdemeanor offense for reckless driving, Fox News reported.

Watson’s lawyers argued that she was in fear of being harmed during the May 2020 protest occurring in Denver, with the defense noting “she was surrounded by people who began kicking and hitting her car and taunting and yelling at her.”

“On the evening of May 28, 2020, my client was just trying to get home, driving a route she took regularly, when she was diverted by protesters at the intersection of East Colfax and Broadway,” her lawyer noted in a statement last year.

“She was alone in her car with her dog when she was surrounded by people who began kicking and hitting her car and taunting and yelling at her,” the statement continued. “While stopped, Mr. Max Bailey jumped up onto the hood of her car and her windshield was smashed in two places. She was terrified and fearful for her safety.”

Video taken during the incident went viral last year. It showed Watson’s vehicle making its way through an intersection before being set upon by several people including Max Bailey, now 22, who crawled onto the black SUV’s hood.

Backed up, and run over him again.
And then , peeled out on his dead carcass on a forward power brake move and shot him out the rear wheel with tread marks on his Marxist, domestic terrorist body.
