Sharpton Speaks Out Against Venue Change

Wants Sean Bell Trial To Remain In Queens

Reporting

NEW YORK (CBS) ― The Reverend Al Sharpton spoke out Saturday about a possible venue change for the three police officers charged in the fatal shooting of Sean Bell.
 
The 23-year-old died in a hail of police bullets last November, just hours before his wedding.

Sharpton came out against a proposed venue change for the Sean Bell
trial. The defense wants the trial to be moved because of pre-trial publicity.

The Reverend did not say that he would refuse to cooperate with the trial if it is moved out of Queens.

Sharpton, Nicole Paultre-Bell, Joseph Guzman, Trent Benefield and their attorneys met at the National Action Network in Harlem Saturday.
