Derek Chauvin - Guilty on All Charges
Still gonna be riots regardless of whatever the verdict was.
Mob rules.
I'm fully expecting the media to justify all riots that happen as joyous celebrations.Celebrations are also great excuses to riot and loot.
How long until the media reports that he was found dead in his cell?
Does this send a signal to cops that they’re not protected?? Somehow I doubt it.
I didn't realize that Chauvin tried to plea to third degree murder.
I suspect that he knew that his goose was cooked.
There may be room for appeal down the road.
But that leaves plenty of time for him to break in his soap on a rope.
He did it to himself.
Keith Ellison, Minnesota Attorney General, just said that this was not justice. He said there needs to be reparations, and it is in the hands of the people (aka mob). He wants riots.
Chauvin didn't kill himself.
I'm not a huge fan of the police, but my problem is that there seems to be a legitimate "reasonable doubt" that Chauvin killed George Floyd. The drugs in George Floyd's system, the fact that George Floyd stated that he couldn't breathe before he was pinned, a sliver of doubt about the exact placement of the knee, a supposed lack of post-mortem injury to the neck, etc., are reasonable to consider. I didn't have personal investment in the outcome of this trial, but I have a hard time thinking that it is a win considering the legal standard of "reasonable doubt" was mostly likely slaughtered (not to mention the witness intimidation and other shenanigans clouding this case).
Do we know the maximum sentence of how long he's supposed to be in jail?
