Derek Chauvin judge breaks his silence with explosive interview to admit his 'BIAS' over George Floyd killing... and the note slipped to him
Daily Mail UK ^ | May 24, 2024 | Joe Hutchison

The judge who oversaw the trial of Derek Chauvin has given an explosive interview as he spoke out for the first time in four years.

Peter Cahill was in charge of proceedings in 2021, when jurors spent three weeks listening to testimony about the death of George Floyd on May 25, 2020 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Floyd, an unarmed black man, had been suspected of using a counterfeit $20 bill in the lead up to the fatal run-in with Chauvin and three other officers.

Restraining Floyd, Chauvin knelt on his neck and back for what officials later deemed was over 9 minutes, fatally asphyxiating him in the process.

He dropped a number of bombshells during the wide-ranging sit down, including confessing he has a pro-police 'bias' but was still sickened by the case.

He also admitted he was desperate not to be given the job, saying he swore at his boss when the legal grenade landed on his desk.

Meanwhile Cahill opened up about a letter slipped to him by Lance Ito - the judge in the 1995 O.J. Simpson murder case - and revealed it read: 'Peace and wisdom.'

Floyd's death rocked the world and gave rise to a huge shift in the culture wars towards readdressing how black people are treated.

Chauvin's trial was also one of the most watched of all time, and has been heavily attacked from both sides since he was sentenced.

Cahill admitted he felt the pressure from the media and political figures during the case, and opened up about how heavily it has impacted his life.

"Cahill admitted he felt the pressure from the media and political figures during the case, and opened up about how heavily it has impacted his life."

Yeah that's tough ... it affected other people's lives as well.

“confessing he has a pro-police ‘bias’”

So the DM thinks a pro-criminal bias is better? Just look at the legal and policing system in the UK for their blatant biases.

...gave rise to a HUGE anti-police shift, defunding police departments all over the country, "reimagining policing" -- all of which led to a HUGE explosion of inner city crime, mostly black-on-black. And we are still suffering it today.

Over a dozen current and former officers say they believe MPD’s Katie Blackwell perjured herself during Derek Chauvin trial

"Specifically, the group of former officers say they believe Blackwell perjured herself when she testified in court that the restraint method Chauvin used to subdue George Floyd in May 2020 was not a part of MPD officer training."

"...many say the knee-on-neck restraint Chauvin employed was trained under the maximal-restraint technique (MRT), a restraint the MPD taught and allowed until 2023."

Neither a pro-police bias nor a pro-criminal bias is good.

A judge should have a pro-truth bias.

The entire case hinges on the public acceptance of this falsehood.

“Restraining Floyd, Chauvin knelt on his neck and back for what officials later deemed was over 9 minutes, fatally asphyxiating him in the process.”

His knee was on his shoulder and back as per the Minneapolis training manual. The manual was not allowed into the proceedings as evidence. The police chief lied in saying they didn't teach that type of restraint.

The coroner’s autopsy did not show asphyxiation as the cause of death.

Floyd had enough fentanyl in his system to kill a horse. That’s why he couldn’t breath. That wasn’t allowed to be told to the jurors.
