The most obvious sticking point is that Murder requires premeditation. The Minnesota cops conducted a perfectly bland traffic stop for almost forty minutes. They were polite yet firm, deferential but cautious, constantly de-escalating the situation. That isn't premeditated.
The next most obvious point it the autopsy report. Floyd suffered exactly zero damage to his neck, blood vessels, internal musculature, and the toxicology report shows four-times the lethal dose of fentanyl. Even a bottom tier lawyer like Crimesha couldn't make the case that anything other than drugs and poor health killed Floyd.
This entire case is going too hinge on the lack of immediate response to an emerging medical emergency. And that is a far cry from Murder in any degree.

Let's hope the trial is after November 3. At this point I think that is likely.
“All it takes is one reasonable juror that can see the facts instead of hysterical emotion and all the cops walk free.”
Who isn’t convinced if the city burns to the ground it’s his fault, and doesn’t care if his life and family are destroyed.
The new video release pretty much clears the officers from having done anything wrong. Floyd was high as a kite, crazy, and OD’ing from meth and fentanyl. The media very conveniently omitted that the officers were called not just because of the phony bill but because Floyd was going crazy on the street outside.
the womans an imbecile....
They could prove that Floyd committed suicide and they’d still riot for no other reason but to destroy - they’ll do it even should Biden win.
“””Who isn’t convinced if the city burns to the ground it’s his fault, and doesn’t care if his life and family are destroyed.”””
Well if we are letting the mob control due process then maybe we should just hang all the cops today and do as they wish.
And Hannity.
Why does the headline mention Chicago?
Nobody cares about your blog
The video tapes show at worst criminal negligence. Murder two is not going to fly.
Floyd already had trouble breathing and was very high on drugs. Chauvin should not have knelt on his neck but I dont think he was the primary cause of death if he was a cause at all. They overcharged him and the other officers.
Very curious about something - The US Supreme Court has ruled that no one is entitled to police protection. IOW - if I understand the impact of the decision - the police can’t be held liable if they fail to show up (in time, or at all) for my emergency after I call them.
So how could they be held responsible for George Floyd not getting immediate care? I know the facts are irrelevant because a picture is worth a thousand words; .... so an 8 minute video must be worth about $80 billion of damage?
But as to my original curiosity - can anyone explain that?
“Many people, even some here, have ranted passionantly and otherwise that those police murdered floyd. the truth is, not so. we used to teach critical thinking in the public schools, not anymore.”
Several interesting points here. A year ago on Free Republic, any posting regarding the Police reliably drew a bunch of comments from the Freeper Cop haters. Much less of that now. A year ago they were perfectly comfortable taking a “virtual march” with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Now, as they watch Communist thugs burn and loot this great Republic while the “Governors” and “Mayors” cheer them on, they seem to be withholding their Cop Hating invective. Interesting. And regarding “teach critical thinking in the public schools”, you inadvertently zeroed in on tour tragic failure. We ALLOWED the public schools to assume the “education” of our children, instead of following the time honored tradition of educating them ourselves...if not academically, then CERTAINLY regarding Faith and Morals.
Me too......I love Gutfeld and Jeannine is too LOUD and I’m old and crotchety to put up with people who talk loud....lol
Chauvin probably should be acquitted but venue selection and/or jury selection is the key.
I agree and also Rolfe in Atlanta.......
Change of venue to the Moon maybe.
“Acquittal = riots in 3..2..1..”
Man 2, time served, riots in 3..2..1.
“””Change of venue to the Moon maybe.”””
There is no way to find an impartial jury anywhere on Earth.
Especially since EVERY story ever written says the cops murdered Saint Floyd.
I have been on a Minneapolis jury a few times. I met some real tards each time. One was a cardiologist from a nice suburb. Absolutely no clue about the real world. He would give these cops the gas chamber because he felt scared.
I do hope that somehow these cops can get their trials moved out to the American part of the state. Slim chance of that happening, though.
Nah, I he can get out of the city and into the sticks he’ll get a much fairer deal.
