If I was in his place I’d reject that plea deal, too. Chauvin never should have been charged in the first place, and should be exonerated on all counts.
Once they lay out the training program and standards for the city/state police...this case lacks any strength, and the four cops went by what was the standard accepted practice.
The other two passengers in the SUV? They will be drilled over their association, and why they were in the vehicle.
I think the prosecution’s case will be pretty much marginalized by the 7th day.
I’ve read the autopsy. No life-threatening injuries. III.B in particular: “No injuries of anterior muscles of neck or laryngeal structures”

Drug overdose and related complications.
“Chauvin never should have been charged in the first place, and should be exonerated on all counts.”
Thankyou for cutting to the chase.
