So all that Chauvin had to say was that he was “startled”, and he would have walked. Who would have known it was that simple?
Noor was convicted regardless. What got him off was the fact that the 3rd degree murder charge required evidence of 'depraved indifference' and apparently the Supreme Court, for whatever reason, decided that wasn't proven. It'd be hard for Chauvin to make the same case.
