Alan Dershowitz Calls Chauvin Verdict ‘Morally Inexcusable’ — Says Case MUST Be Reversed On Appeal
enVolve ^

Posted on 04/20/2021 6:34:36 PM PDT by A.M. Smith

Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax that believes what Derek Chauvin did to George Floyd was morally inexcusable, but also believes the case should be reversed on appeal and explains why:

"Well first, what was done to George Floyd by Officer Chauvin was inexcusable morally. But the verdict is very questionable because of the outside influences from people like Al Sharpton and Maxine Waters. Their threats and intimidation and hanging the ‘Sword of Damocles’ over the jury – basically saying that if you don’t convict on the murder charge, or all the charges, the cities will burn, the country will be destroyed – seeped into the jury room because the judge made a terrible mistake by not sequestering a jury. So the judge himself said that this case may be reversed on appeal and I think it might be reversed on appeal. I think it should be reversed on appeal…."

Yeah sure, useful idiot, it’s ok for cops to violate others rights but not ok to violate theirs. And you wonder why white women have gone 70% R to D in 10 years. Jesus

It’s reversible. The questions is, do we have the ballz and are we willing to sacrifice what may be necessary to reverse it?

The reason the right is losing with the suburbs are useful idiots like you. You really have no idea how crazy you are vs typical opinion. A normal person cannot watch that video and not realize that cop deserves to be in jail, period. You can debate how long and for what, but as soon as you start excusing abusive cop behavior you have lost 95% of Americans, period.

After careful consideration of what you said and your thoughtful advice I have come to the conclusion that you are full of sh!t.

You should have the read the autopsy report and the toxicology report. This guy killed himself with PCP and Fentyal. He had heart disease and I believe other health problems. The only contributing factor may have been the stress he was subjected to, but his death was brought on by a lot of bad choices he made.

It certainly wasn't murder, possibly Manslaughter.

Yes, that is the best way. I sometimes wonder if it’s numbers? How many people, called by His name, does it take, before it’s reversed, or there is judgment?

Did you read what I said or just post? I already said from watching video it was obvious no murder but was manslaughter and cop deserves to be in prison?

I wouldn’t call it a mistake but more along the lines of intentional action
Same reason he denied change of venue

DERSHOWITZ: What Maxine Waters did, coupled with the judge refusing to sequester the jury, will lead to the US Supreme Court ultimately reversing any conviction for Derek Chauvin

Appeal. Doesn’t that sound nice and civilized? Appeal? Do any of you seriously think Derek Chauvin will be alive long enough to “appeal”? I sure as Hell don’t. The first time he is turned out into the general population, an unknown, never to be revealed “peaceful protester” will stick a knife in his ribs. Probably one day next week.

Steve Scalise

Every single House Democrat just voted to stand with Maxine Waters.

They made it clear: Democrats are fine with Democrat politicians inciting violence and chaos.

Like what? He was a criminal high on drugs resisting arrest. Chauvins knee was on his shoulder blade in now way shape or form restricting his breathing. Railroaded due to rioters.
