A Minnesota Court of Appeals ruled that a state board wrongfully rejected the teaching license application of Jeronimo Yanez, the former cop who shot Philando Castile.
Yanez, who was acquitted ofin the Castile case, applied for a substitute teaching job in 2020, but was denied. The state board listed the reason for his rejection as"immoral character or conduct," but a Minnesota Court of Appeals now says that reason is too vague.
The shooting of Castile, a black man, inside his car sent waves of protest across the country. Yanez argued that Castile had a firearm and that he feared for his own safety, but Castile was later shown to have a permit for the gun.
