Someone said the judge should have privately asked each juror if they heard Maxine Waters before the verdict, if they did, declare a mistrial.

This verdict is vengeance from the leftards and race baiters.The only thing he is guilty of is being a white police officer.

Agree with the verdict has nothing to do with justice.

However I do think he is guilty of being stupid and an idiot. Once handcuffed there was no reason for him to continue to kneel of GF. If he would have gotten up off of GF he probably wouldn't be going to jail now.

The optics were bad. Do I believe the optics should be the narrative? No. But with all of the cameras rolling and the goldfish attention span most people have the optics become the narrative.

I believe the State is expected to rest sometime today. Then the defense will probably move for a directed verdict based on the prosecution not making their case beyond a reasonable doubt (and considering all the conflicting testimony by the state's own witnesses, they certainly have not done that). This will get denied because of political pressure, of course. And then the defense gets to put their witnesses on and that is expected to end Friday or possibly Thursday. The jury has already been told to bring an overnight bag on Monday because they'll immediately go into sequestration for deliberations.

Was the contents of his stomach examined?

A Fentanyl blood level of 11 says it all.

Did you read ME’s report, cause of death, manner of death etc?

Yes. Then I used my education and knowledge along with 30 plus years of MMA training to make my own opinion.

Fair enough. But I think that Medical Examiner might be more informed and educated on these matters than most of us here.

My opinion once the toxicology results came back and it showed that George Floyd died from a Fentanyl overdose then all charges against Officer Chauvin should have been dropped and Floyds death should have been ruled suicide by an intentional ingest of Fentanyl! The knee to the neck did not kill George Floyd, the handful of fentanyl he purposefully swallowed killed him! Once again Derek Chauvin will be sacrificed on the alter of Political Expediency!

The convicted felon drug addict that committed suicide by swallowing his fentanyl stash after getting caught passing counterfeit bills is elevated to saint status and a cop who was trying to do his job is demonized. Sad state of affairs' in my humble opinion.

I totally agree. Up is down, wrong is right in this Brave New World. I wonder how long it will be before, we will not be allowed to raise our own children, lest they become Conservative.

Third degree murder charge reinstated, so they can give the jury the opportunity to find him guilty of something, so they can continue to live after the trial.

Ruark wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 8:42 am So what do we know about the prosecutor and defense attorneys?

The State AG took over prosecution from the local prosecutor, and the AG has a stable of state paid prosecutors, plus IIRC the AG brought in outside counsel specifically for this case, plus the state budget. As high profile as this case is, he effectively will has unlimited resources for this. The defendant has two private practice lawyers, one of which was admitted to the Minnesota Bar in 2001, was a cofounder of his law firm, and has specialized in criminal defense. Branca has not been complimentary of his performance so far. I don't know history of the other defense lawyer. And AFAIK they are working on Chauvin's budget, I can't tell if the Minneapolis police union is supporting him (and the other officers) financially or not. The police union president had publicly been a vocal defender, I guess you would call it, but he resigned in Jan.
