Chauvin Trial Day 11 Wrap-Up: BREAKING: Trial Expected to End Testimony This Week
Welcome to our ongoing coverage of the Minnesota murder trial of Derek Chauvin, over the in-custody death of George Floyd. I am Attorney Andrew Branca for Law of Self Defense.

Today the prosecution presented three of its final witnesses, as the state closes in on the end of its case in chief.
I’ll get to those witnesses in a moment but I don’t want to bury the lede, so here it is:
At the end of court today Judge Cahill informed the jury that they should expect testimony to end this week, and that they should arrive Monday ready for deliberations to begin-which means, bring an overnight bag, because once deliberations begin, sequestration of the jury begins.
Indeed, testimony may end prior to Friday—the judge informed the jury that the only reason he’s not going to plan on closing arguments happening on Friday is right after closing they need to be sequestered, and he doesn’t want to have to send the jury into sequestration for the weekend.
The obvious implication given that the state hasn’t yet quite concluded its case in chief? That the defense case in chief is expected to be no more than three days in duration.
That’s in contrast to roughly 11 days of the state’s case in chief.
So, we’re almost at the end of this rodeo, folks. I expect daily content on this trial from Law of Self Defense through the end of this week, then Monday we’ll start our traditional VERDICT WATCH! and of course we’ll share the final verdict—or mistrial—news with all of you as soon as we get it ourselves.
With that out of the way, let’s jump into today’s witnesses.

I can see why the author said this.
No kidding. Doc Rich’s entire testimony was cringe worthy, mostly because one could sense he really thought he was knocking it out of the park.
I’m blocked from that site. Could you post a little more of it?
Thanks especially for the paragraph breaks! :D
oops...I can’t figure out how to format it correctly
Oooh. The paragraph police might not be happy with this post. Lol
LOL.
I just reported them so they can be deleted. When I’m in preview they look just fine but somehow they don’t end up that way
Brevity is the soul of wit.
Paragraphs are your friend.
I need a curved monitor in a swivel chair to follow - HA HA
oops...I can’t figure out how to format it correctly

Go to the source code and copy it and it will be formatted.
But do you want to burden FR with at much material?
No problem. I just narrowed it quite a bit and just finished reading. Excellent rundown! Thanks for that!
I requested it because I was blocked from the site. And it is much appreciated. Excellent read!
Should be duplicate. Why were you blocked from the lawyer’s site? Are you a hacker? /s Maybe you’re using a VPN. I’ve noticed a lot of sites will block you these days if you’re using a VPN. Etsy gives you a blank white page. Google and others make you do two factor authentication by texting or emailing you a code to input to finish logging in. PITA
yes, I thought it was a good recap too. they’ll be done on Friday or before. This should be very interesting over these next 7-10 days. Defense case should prove quite explosive as well. Chauvin needs to be found not guilty based on all the evidence
The tapes have been shown so repeatedly that the initial shock value is largely long gone.
because I was blocked from the site.
LOL........
