BLM protestors also gathered outside of the court room as they awaited justice for Casillo’s actions.
She had been captured on video plowing through the demonstration last year which had left at least nine protestors wounded.

‘Last year on Dec. 11, Kathleen Casillo drove her car at top speed through a crowd of human beings. I was one of those human beings—I never saw her coming,’ Roque Rodriguez told AMNY.
‘She hit me flush from behind and set my body flying and flipping through the air and she kept driving.
‘It’s white supremacy that allowed Kathleen to believe she had the right to end the lives of anyone that got in her way, especially BLM protesters.’
‘It has been a very long year. Kathleen Castillo’s car left me with five bulging discs in my back and a traumatic brain injury,’ Tabitha Howell said.
‘It’s one thing to face physical recovery. It’s another to try to process what happened mentally and emotionally.’
