Chauvin’s lawyers will make a full exposition of police training materials and procedures, Floyd’s past history, all video of the arrest immediately prior to Floyd’s death, and especially the autopsy reports which show the actual cause of death.
this case is not the slam-dunk that Keith “Antifa” Ellison may think it is.
Mr. Ellison knows he has overcharged with the murder 2 charge. If he can get a jury to convict on murder 2 then he has a fine feather in his cap. If the jury finds him not guilty of murder 2 but guilty of a lesser charge the Ellison still gets street cred but no riots (probably). If the jury finds him not guilty of any charges then Ellison gets the riots he wants so as to damage the orange man. It is important that the verdict be given as near as possible to the election so as to have the maximum impact.
