Judge Peter Cahill granted a motion preventing the death of convicted felon George Floyd from being likened to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ during the Derek Chauvin murder trial striking a major blow to Black Lives Matter activists who had hoped to paint Floyd as a martyred holy figure .
The judge was presented with the following motion on Monday:
“The Defendant moves the Court for an Order precluding any expert from likening the death of George Floyd to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the ground that such analogy is prejudicial.”
Judge Cahill agree with the motion and it was passed without incident. The defense team cited previous instances of Floyd being compared to Jesus Christ by eyewitnesses, which were quickly recognized by the judge as inaccurate and prejudicial.
The move was met with outrage by Black Lives Matter activists, who had hoped to paint Floyd as a messianic figure.

I didn’t know George Floyd died for our sins. I thought that was Michael Brown.
Yeah. Just a couple of bad check passers on drugs. Sheesh.
Hold up! This ain’t satire?
Breaking News. George Floyd is not the messiah. The fat women at BLM are lying!!!
I remember the part of the gospels where Jesus robbed a pregnant woman at gun point
The fact that a motion had to be put forth for this tells me this entire trial is going to be an absolute circus.
I agree it’s a ridiculous assertion but I think the defense should be allowed to make fools of themselves.
If this case goes against BLM this will be one of the things the defense will add to the appeal.
This is satire, right?
He died due to his owns sins, that’s for sure.
I was suspicious also but here it is in item 30:

I think it was from The Gospel of Drugs.
You should’ve heard one of the potential jurors yesterday. She couldn’t speak or understand English.
It’s not only prejudicial, it’s blasphemous.
I can’t confirm the ‘outrage’ but it wouldn’t surprise me.
Equal parts Silly, Blasphemous and Obscene.
We are a sick nation.
That this has to done is totally bizarre.
Nope not satire. Click excerpt link. Lots of reporters tweeting about it.
