We're hoping that we can gain cooperation, perhaps in the Preddy matter.

But we've been advised that the Good matter is the feds are not investigating it.

And we still haven't received any access to the evidence that is involved in that case.

In these two cases, they're stonewalling you?

That's yes.

Well, we're asking for what we've been used to for years and years and years.

State and federal cooperation in Minnesota is not an unusual thing.

It's generally how we do business all the time.

And when there's a homicide, particularly an officer involved one, it's routine for state and federal investigations to run parallel for there to be information sharing, things like that.

In the Renee Good matter, we still don't have access to things like shell casings, the car, the gun, and any statements that may have been acquired or anything like that.

Now, we are doing a parallel investigation, but it's separate.

And it is based on video we've been able to get on it, to get from people who shared it and things like that.

Things are moving.

I want the public to know that.

But still, there is critical information the federal government has in its possession, as it has already said that it has closed any kind of civil rights use of force investigation into the death of Renee Goode.

They have said that they're considering doing a joint investigation.

Okay.

Up until now, they have said, no, you can't have access to the information.

And so going forward, we hope that we can gain some cooperation.

Let me be clear.
