Yeah, this verdict was a “no-brainer” all right...jurors with a brain were not on this jury!
more about cowardice
Brainless racist.
I heard someone say on this forum something like “don’t forget your jurors are 12 people who weren’t smart enough to get out of jury duty”
Makes sense
How would you have voted if you had been on the jury?
I think some of the jurors voted guilty because they know if they had voted innocent they would have been subjected to mob violence, be doxed, etc. I’m sure they voted for their lives.
IMHO, this trial should have been moved far away from Minneapolis.
Those of us on FR who predicted this were right. Maybe talk a little sports or things like that to make it look like an hour was used for serious discussion over a man’s future life.
My gag before the jury selection a few weeks ago was, on the first day of being sworn in, the foreman would hand a note to the judge. The judge would chuckle a little, shake his head and tell the jury: “No, you have to wait for opening arguments, evidence presentation, calling of witnesses, testimony and closing arguments before declaring him guilty on all counts. We haven’t even started yet.”
