I have always felt that regardless of the legalities, the sight of Chauvin’s expressionless face while onlookers were screaming at him to stop was just too hard for people to forget and even harder to shrug off.
Guilty was a lock. I would have bet my house on it.
Justice should not be based on facial expressions or stupid onlookers. What Chauvin did could not possibly have caused Floyd’s death; LE all over the world use the same method.
