Rev. Al Sharpton

New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani says a state appeals court had no choice but to move the shooting trial of a Guinean immigrant from the Bronx to upstate. He says protesters made it impossible for the four white police officers who shot Amadou Diallo in February to have a fair trial in New York City. He says marching, demanding indictments and protesting in front of city courthouses meant that a panel of five judges had to move the trial to Albany. Lawyers for the officers said it would be impossible to find an impartial jury in the Bronx.
