GROUNDS FOR MISTRIAL
They can go home and watch the riots and looting in Brooklyn Center on TV.
is this so they will get scared to death of what will happen to them?
>>“Ultimately, your honor, the question becomes will the jury be competent to make a decision regardless of the potential outcome of their decision,” Nelson said.

>>Judge Peter Cahill said he will not sequester the jury until next Monday, when he anticipates closing arguments will begin. He also denied a defense request to question jurors about what they might have seen about unrest following Sunday’s police shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center. …
This AFTER potential jurors said that they feared for their lives if they were to return a not-guilty verdict.
Off topic,
Hearing/seeing “your honor” aggravates me to no end. They’re all black-robed tyrants.
Ok, back on topic.
How clever of the defense... to imply the danger to the jury as a measure of their “conflict of decision” on the FACTS that George Floyd was worthless drug addict high enough on fentanyl and other opiods to have died under the additional stress of being arressted... CAUSED BY HIS addiction (which he was not at all interested in kicking), and NOT by a policeman doing his job for the public safety.
Typical Commie crap manipulation for the MEDIA farce that is the BLM “narrative” and the demonrat national “lifeline”... oh yes.... let’s ignore the LAW and allow the criminals to own the politicians and the rest of the citizenry.
These idiots think a conviction will prevent rioting or reduce the destruction.
There will be riots no matter what the jurors decide.
All the judge has done is void any conviction. The verdict will be dumped and the court will have to start all over again.
This trial should have STARTED with a change a venue. And the jurors should have sequestered from day one.
So let’s see how long they can “Gin up” the street a@@clowns to destroy more businesses AGAIN on the basis of NO FACT whatsover or the actions/rumours of the officer’s actions.
Female officer— let’s hope she’s black (but not for her sake, goodness knows, though it would be somewhat of a help to slow down the commie LEFT white guilt libs).
This reminds me of the second Rodney King trial, the Federal case against the LAPD officers who had been acquitted in superior court. While the jury was deliberating they could hear the mob outside the courthouse shouting “no justice no peace.” The defendants had no chance. They were offered up as human sacrifices by George H. W. Bush.

Judge rules that Morries Hall, passenger in #Floyd’s car, won’t testify (Hall said he would plead the 5th) his prior statements to police won’t be admissible in court. Def wanted to have him on the stand, likely to testify to what drugs Floyd took in the car
If the jurors don’t convict, you can bet they’ll be hunted down by BLM. As long as BLM and their allies lurk about, the jurors will be thinking of their safety first.
If that’s not jury intimidation, nothing is.
Probably the judge thinks that a guilty verdict is needed to spare the city the consequences of an innocent verdict. Maybe he is channeling Caiaphas: “it is better for one man to die than for the whole people to perish” (John 11.50).
GROUNDS FOR MISTRIAL
I guess the judge wants the jurors to fully absorb what will happen to them if they don’t vote to convict. Every juror already knows that their lives are over if they vote to acquit. The latest riots just drive that point home some more.
The jurors must have understood the pressures from day one. Did they WANT to be on duty? All one has to do to avoid it is to express an opinion at the get-go. There is no way I’d be there.
He should have declared a mis trial when BLM said burn the town if the verdict is not to their liking.
The Minnesota Governor’s asinine statement that reads like a BLM talking point should alone be enough for a mistrial.
I’m pretty sure there’s nobody on that jury that matches my demographic.
