Family of Alex Pretti retains lawyers who helped prosecute the George Floyd case
Alex Pretti's family hired Steve Schleicher, former Derek Chauvin prosecutor, amid concerns over Border Patrol officers' use of force during a filming incident.
- On Saturday, Michael and Susan Pretti retained attorney Steve Schleicher to represent them pro bono after their son Alex Pretti was shot while filming Border Patrol, while younger sister Micayla Pretti hired attorney Anthony Cotton separately.
- On Saturday, Alex Pretti, 37, intensive care nurse at Minneapolis VA Medical Center, was shot multiple times while filming Border Patrol officers during an immigration enforcement operation; videos appear to show one officer remove his legally permitted handgun before two others opened fire.
- The retained lawyer previously served as Steve Schleicher, partner at Maslon and former special prosecutor in the Derek Chauvin trial, with 13 years at the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Minnesota and service in the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General Corps.
- The response mixes local and out-of-state lawyers, with Michael and Susan Pretti hiring Minneapolis counsel while Micayla Pretti retained Anthony Cotton of Kuchler & Cotton in Milwaukee to protect their interests.
- Pretti's death followed the Jan. 7 death of Minneapolis resident Renee Good, whose family hired Romanucci & Blandin, Chicago law firm that represented the George Floyd family.
