Good. There is no reason to sit in jail. He will be acquitted once the jury rules that Saint Floyd died of a drug overdose.

This’ll be George Zimmerman redux. Those cops did nothing wrong and there is no incriminating evidence other than a video showing them following official procedure - and it did not add to or complicate his death by overdose.

At least that is how I see it now that more facts have come out.

$1 million!!

Either he’s a rich man or someone rich helped him or thousands of people donated to raise the money.

I am assuming he can only be convicted of one of those?

>>posted a $1 million bond

I thought the Left keeps screaming that there should be no bond. I guess that’s only for the leftists and urban Amish.

They left out Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Perhaps they will include add that next week.

Might as well - his life is over in this country.

Well blow me down. An honest statement. For once. Usually it’s . . . The former Minneapolis police officer who killed George Floyd by kneeling on his neck....

Speaking of innocent people who don’t belong in jail....

Did Kyle Rittenhouse ever get bail? Did he ever get released?

If you say so. In the State of Florida the jury doesn’t rule on anything. You need to inform his lawyer of this.

It depends what kind of jury he gets though. I’ve sat on a bias jury before in New York city on an arson case involving a black guy who burned down someones garage that had its door open. 3 witnesses saw him enter it and blatantly sit on a couch lighting a torch to smoke crack and saw the couch go on fire and afterwards he entered the owners house and threatened the owners. 4 blacks on the jury refused to find him guilty, and the victims were black! It was insane, the evidence was overwhelming but they refused over and over and over and we had a hung jury. I would imagine bias against this cop is huge
