An attorney for a white Chicago policeman charged with murder in the shooting death of a black teenager said Friday he will seek a change of venue, arguing that comments Mayor Rahm Emanuel made jeopardize his client’s chances of a fair trial.

The theory rests on a deleted video that briefly appeared on the Miss Universe Snapchat channel in the aftermath of the incident. Shapiro also said in relation to a potential return “I definitely want him back, and I would hate to see him not come back”.

Herbert has said he may ask for a change of venue for Van Dyke in light of comments made by Mayor Rahm Emanuel about his client. Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder on November 24, just hours before the video was released to the public. The release of those images triggered protests, forced the resignation of the city’s police chief and put the entire Police Department under a wide-ranging civil rights investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Chicago police killed an average of 17 people a year over the last seven years, a lot of them African American, and it is extremely unusual for police officers to face charges or be disciplined in such cases. 13 months later, a judge ordered the city of Chicago to release the police dash cam video of police officer Jason Van Dyke shooting McDonald 16 times.

Van Dyke, in a suit, appeared before Cook County Judge James Brown for several seconds as a standing-room crowd looked on.

After a video showed a White Chicago police officer pumping 16 bullets into a Black teen, federal law enforcement officials launched a probe into the department and this week, informed residents how to submit complaints against law enforcement.

Van Dyke’s attorney, Daniel Herbert, said he had not heard about the indictment on Wednesday, but said “it would not come as a surprise”.

At the hearing, prosecutors are expected to read the full indictment that was handed down Tuesday. A formal arraignment likely will be held later, after he is assigned a trial judge.

“Sixteen shots!” “Murderer!” “Child killer!” a small group of people yelled as they tailed 37-year-old Van Dyke outside the courtroom.

Protests were planned leading up to Van Dyke’s Friday hearing, as well, one of which was targeting travelers at Chicago’s Midway Airport, making holiday travel a bit more hard.
