Judge: Police can't wear uniforms at cop killer's trial
By PoliceOne Staff
BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — A judge has enacted a policy barring police officers from wearing their uniforms or other insignia while in attendance of the trial for a man accused of killing a Brevard County sheriff’s deputy.
Judge Morgan Reinman enacted the policy after Brandon Bradley’s attorney argued that a "sea of blue" in the courtroom would influence the jury and prevent Bradley from a fair trial. He is accused of fatally shooting deputy Barbara Pill at a traffic stop in 2012, according to Florida Today.
The police barring the wearing of uniforms does not apply to witnesses and court deputies.
Bradley is charged with first-degree murder for the death of Pill, who pulled Bradley over for allegedly stealing from a motel, according to WFTV. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty...
OK judge, no uniforms, fine. We'll all just get blue t-skirt saying something like "Justice for Barbara Pill". Will you stop a group of Bradley's supporters from wearing t-shirts supporting this POS? I think we know the answer.
