The team arguing for the motion was comprised of Gloria Browne-Marshall, associate professor of constitutional law at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and a former civil rights attorney, and Marq Claxton, the director of public relations and public affairs for the Black Law Enforcement Alliance and a retired New York police detective.
