Being found not guilty is going to be hard based on how the charges have been structured.

This particular version of the second degree murder charge is often used to charge criminals who do not actually cause a death through their own action but were at the scene and were participating in the crime (robbery, assault, etc.) that created the situation where someone died. Many times, the murder victim is another criminal who was shot dead by a security guard, arriving police officer, or even the crime victim if he or she use their firearm legally. Critically, no intent to cause death is required on the part of the accused. They just have to have been present and aiding the commission of the illegal act.

In this case, the murder charge will succeed or fail based on whether or not the jury finds the arrest was 1) legal and 2) properly conducted. Unless the jury finds yes and yes to those two elements, the officers will be convicted of both the assault (illegal arrest) and the murder.

That’s 1 in 4 odds to acquit.

Can you imagine the tremendous criminal liability that every single police officer, fireman, paramedic, nurse, doctor will be under if there is a conviction in this case? It’s probable that a large minority, even a majority of the police department would resign. I hope the police union is very active in pointing this real possibility to all the politicians currently crawling all over themselves to badmouth the officers who were heroes just a dozen days ago.

Then the enlighten, liberal citizens of Minneapolis will get their wish to disestablish the police force.

Good luck with that.

I believe one will take the fall but not all. That will not be enough for the Soros backed groups to stop. It will only add fuel to the fire because all were not convicted
