mass protests in 2020
On May 30, 2020, Jones said he had been marching with a friend in Los Angeles' Fairfax District in the wake of George Floyd's death, when they decided to move to a less chaotic location — a Trader Joe's parking lot. "I'm reminded of what my ophthalmologist said. He said, 'If the bullet was an inch to the left, it would have hit your temple. If it was an inch to the right, you would have been blind.' So I would have been dead or blind," Jones said.
Orin Synder, Jones' lead attorney, told ABC News the verdict represents vindication in a broader context. While the LAPD declined to comment, Bueno's attorney, Janine Jeffery, said her client plans to appeal the verdict.
