Will there be riots.....
So?
I guess the question is if MN law allows for lesser includeds to still apply.
Part of the over-reach...
Wasn’t that commie muzzlim AG handling this personally? And wasn’t he the one who elevated the charges after a short time? Looks like a fail for him.
So the Judge feels there is enough evidence, if it is assumed to be true, that allows for a trial on second degree murder or manslaughter. Wow. This is all going to boil down to the police manual on detaining people and the coroner’s report. I still think the officer has a good shot at acquittal as long as his lawyers no their stuff.
Does anyone know for certain: Applying knee pressure on a non-compliant suspect’s neck (as Chauvin did), without blocking air or blood flow — was a restraint tactic taught by the Minneapolis Police Department (and PDs as well).
I’ve seen conflicting reports on this.
3rd degree murder (not intentional) is the only charge he can possibly be convicted on. So bottom line is he won’t be convicted of anything. Won’t be tried for anything. My opinion.
Won’t second-degree be harder to prove?
Floyd died of a drug overdose and his stupidity.
