I'll preface this by saying that anything less than a guilty verdict would be a travesty. But ...
people here complaining that the defense has committed some form of misfeasance, or has otherwise acted improperly, display a stunning lack of knowledge regarding the workings of our criminal justice system.

Now, having said that, I hope Derek Chauvin is found guilty and receives the maximum sentence.

 :whatever:

4. If a person has a completely open mind on this evidence It should only take half hour at the most here. GUILTY as charged.

Guilty of what? Seriously, the state isn't even alleging homicide with malice a forethought.

Culpable negligence?

Involuntary manslaughter?

Assault?

Methinks Murder 1 would result in celebratory riots. Anything else will result in angry riots.

Okay, we already know that far-left dumb****s have an issue with our system of justice and due process. They like Soviet-style sham trials. No real need for further comment.

How could any intellectually honest person they say the state's proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt? They couldn't seem to provide a consistent explanation fo how Floyd died. Their medical expert witnesses spouted utter inanities about the risks associated with smoking and Floyd's heart problems. They said in closing arguments "Maybe it was [Floyd's] enlarged heart, maybe it wasn't." :thatsright: That's just a sampling of the prosecution's shortcomings. The state also had every advantage; they couldn't have asked for a more favorable jury. The judge was more than generous to them. The case pitted the state versus basically one defense attorney. The media has done what they do best, inundating the public with propaganda about how Chauvin's guilt is a foregone conclusion and the trial but a formality.
