It may be like the trial in To Kill a Mockingbird. It was obvious from the beginning that the defendant would be found guilty, so the only hope was to win on appeal. The question is whether Chauvin will be shot "while trying to escape" before it reaches the appeals court.

I would remind everyone here that we were reading the same thing about the trial of the Baltimore cops in the Freddie Gray case a few years ago.
