Despite Philando Castile telling officer Yanez that he had a gun and a permit to carry it; he was killed. Despite officer Yanez saying he saw a gun but being recorded saying he didn’t know where the gun was; he killed Castile. “What I meant by that was I didn’t know where the gun was up until I saw it in his right thigh area.” Yanez said. It is hard to believe that statement since witnesses saw paramedics removed the gun from Castile shorts. And despite the fact that Castile’s girlfriend streamed the murder on Facebook Live; the jury decided to acquit Yanez of murder.   Yanez was charged with second-degree manslaughter, and endangering Castile’s girlfriend and her then-4-year-old daughter for firing his gun into the car by them.
