Derek Chauvin trial Verdict on Floyd death.

[Soul Crusher]

President Biden, speaking as the jury in Derek Chauvin's murder trial is sequestered in its second day of deliberations, said Tuesday he is "praying the verdict is the right verdict, which is, I think it's overwhelming in my view."

Ridiculous.   Well since Biden was never a real lawyer we probably have to excuse his incompetence and ignorance.

He should have testified.

Usually, defense attorneys don't want their client to testify.  His defense attorney didn't seem very impressive to me.

He should have testified.

Why? What do you think would have happened during cross examination by the prosecution? Would Chauvin have come off as a sympathetic defendant? “Chauvin doesn’t come across as a warm and pleasant person. And jurors want to see a caring and empathetic person. That is the one big liability: If jurors don’t like Chauvin, his fate is sealed,” said Mike Bravin, a Minneapolis defense attorney who has been following the case closely.

Jury verdict at 4 pm.   Lets see.   I think he is going to get convicted of the lesser offense but not murder.

verdict in less than a day = Chauvin is toast

I'm also wondering why the other officers didn't testify unless its because they are facing charges as well and would have to either take the 5th or be granted immunity.

Verdict reached.....

I have to agree. Doesn't bode well for that guy.
Looking forward to the riots peaceful celebrations for the next few weeks.

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are there. What could possibly go wrong ?

O.J. verdict took four hours of deliberation.  What do you think you know?

In a way I feel bad for him. I also feel bad for the jury. Those 9 minutes sparked an international uproar that is still going on. This puts a lot of responsibility on the jurors to find him guilty of a crime severe enough to appease a world of angry people.....if that is even possible. This is not an event that we'll soon forget about.

I think juror fear of being doxxed could push from manslaughter up to 3rd degree

Brought a few extra mags with me today.

For any peaceful protesters.

I was wrong on this.

Insults or comments from the board retard don't bother me.

HTH.

It was actually more like 20 minutes when you look at the video of him when he resisted being put in the police vehicle.

me neither

btw - I thought you didn't ready my posts

I guess that was another lie

[ThisisOverload]

It was the "right" thing to do considering the state of our country.

If he wasn't guilty we'd have another 2020 season of riots.

maybe they found him guilty based on the evidence presented
did that every occur to you?

Good approach.  The Village Idiot is who she is. 

Not surprised by verdict, especially when you look at the climate in that city.  I could see jurors not wanting to have blood on their hands if he was acquitted.  Not how it's supposed to be, but they're human.

I think that was probably a factor.

I was just guessing at a verdict, at a trial I didn't follow closely, other than some headlines.

Nothing more than that.

For some reason you felt the need to start throwing insults.

Can't relate to that existence.
