– The black man who was shot and paralyzed by police in Kenosha, Wis., on Tuesday will likely appear in court via video from his hospital room next week, his lawyer tells Reuters. Jacob Blake, 29, is expected to plead not guilty to criminal charges that predate the shooting, including sexual assault charges against his ex-girlfriend, who told police Blake broke into her home on May 3 and sexually assaulted her before stealing her truck and debit card. Blake, who is paralyzed from the waist down after being shot in the back, was handcuffed to a hospital bed after the shooting and officers guarding him stood down when the warrant for his arrest was removed on Friday. The warrant was based on a criminal complaint filed against Blake in July. The complaint shows that Blake’s ex-girlfriend, the mother of three of his children, told police Blake broke into her home on May 3 and sexually assaulted her before stealing her truck and debit card. Kenosha officials have been criticized for videos showing law enforcement agents giving 17-year-old suspect Kyle Rittenhouse water before the burst of violence and acting chummy with armed militia men in the streets.
