Convicting Derek Chauvin was a 'no-brainer' says juror
Sky News ^ | 28 April | By Andy Hayes, news reporter

Posted on 04/28/2021 12:49:40 PM PDT by RandFan

Finding Derek Chauvin guilty of murdering George Floyd was a "no-brainer", one of the jurors in the trial has said.

Brandon Mitchell said he and the 11 other jurors could have completed their deliberations within the 10 hours they actually took - and might have finished in just 60 minutes.

They did not need much thinking time, the 31-year-old high school basketball coach added.

"For the most part, we did go in and come straight out," he told NBC's Today.

The jury was unanimous in finding Chauvin guilty last week. The former police officer could now spend decades in jail.

What a disgrace this juror is... sounds like he made up his mind before the trial.

There needs to be some serious appeals going on because this was not a fair trial.

Not accepting cookies on this article. But on another site he said they spent 10 hours convincing one juror holdout that Chauvin was guilty.

This was the reverse of the OJ trial. Chauvin was lynched by the mob.

Makes sense. Just had to get 12 people with no brains. A total no-brainer decision.

HERE is a surprise! Chauvin never had a chance with this guy:

His words just seal the deal.

Yes. It was all written out on a chart.

White? —> guilty.
black? —> innocent.

The only thing the jurors thought about was how bad they would get beaten if they came back with anything else but guilty on all counts.

What can we expect from a ‘city’ that elects the most anti-American witch possible to sit in the people’s house... The ones that are complicit in this ‘trial’ are on the air waves of the devil.. People in general have been bit by the scorpion that has turned their minds and spines to literal mush.

They didn’t DELIBERATE. They sentenced him to decades in prison without even thinking about the evidence.

Perhaps that was the judge’s instructions to the jury?

My thought exactly. This is just another of the many reasons this trial should be over turned.
