Woman accused of running over George Floyd protester found not guilty of assault | Fox News: A Denver jury found a woman accused of hitting a person with her SUV during a 2020 George Floyd protest not guilty of assault.
"Ms. Watson should not have been charged. We appreciate the jury’s verdict of not guilty to the assault charge," driver Jennifer Watson’s attorneys at Brackley Law Office PLLC said in a statement on Facebook after the verdict Friday.
The jury did find her guilty of a misdemeanor reckless driving charge.
Watson’s defense team argued she was fearful during the May 2020 protest in Denver, saying, "she was surrounded by people who began kicking and hitting her car and taunting and yelling at her."
