The only thing that can help the defense is a promise to help all of jurors move to saner areas of the country and find them jobs.

He is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t testify.

I not sure they have much to go on. They can argue to the court that he be compelled to testify. Not sure how that works when you have a an amendment to the US Constitution clearly stating that you don’t.

There might some work around since he hasn’t been charged or something. But it’s apparent that he thinks or knows that the if he gets up there, he’s fried chicken.

Either way, Minneapolis will be on fire in short order. I hope the citizens are proud of who they voted for.

Well he probably doesn’t want to admit to being on drugs too. I can’t say I blame him

"... is only willing to “be his voice” so long as he’s not under oath..."

Yes, like Zuckerberg (FaceBook) and Dorsey (Twitter). It is a Leftist thing.

Bill Whittle addresses this Leftist phenomenon in his excellent video: The Stolen Election Part 2: (Stoners and Reptiles) in which he provides a "translation" for what both Zuckerberg and Dorsey say in their congressional testimony under oath. (The link will take you right to that part, but the entire 22 min video is stellar and noteworthy, particularly the part where he discusses how evil Google is and their role in all of this.

Truly disturbing, and frightening. And not hyperbole.

Autopsy shows Floyd had 11 ng/ml fentanyl in his body. Note that 3 ng / mL will cause death

The way our “courts” have behaved as of late, on average, and with MN being more liberal than average...I wouldn’t be surprised if the judge simply grants the request to quash the subpoena of the friend to testify.

“and find them jobs.”

You think most of them want jobs?

"FWIW, he needs use or transactional immunity."

Right, but they aren't going to extend crap to him -- unless my scenario plays out and he blurts (which if it happens, watch Smellison poop himself live in the courtroom).

They want this minor dude like a brick wall because he can reduce George to a worthless husk of a man (which is exactly what he was); and if that jury is as much female POC as was reported, you and we know what they really think of the "Georges" in their world. There goes Murder2 for sure.

A point that needs repeating, and can never be lost in the chaos that is to come.

Another interesting tidbit from this morning is when Floyd’s girlfriend was testifying, on cross the defense got her to admit that in Floyd’s cellphone, she was listed as ‘MOMMA.’

Why is that important? The media made a big deal about how Floyd kept calling out for his ‘mother’ by yelling, ‘Momma, Momma’ as he was being ‘murdered’ by MPD. He wasn’t calling for his mother. He was calling for his girlfriend.

Normalcy bias.
I can’t imagine not having a job and projected that on to the jurors.

Yep. I remember that voice calling for MAMA, it was heartbreaking. He also kept calling for MAURICE, which I assumed was a brother, father. Come to find out today, MAMA was his girlfriend (also the name on his speed dial) who engaged for three years with George in drug usage. Maurice was his drug dealer.

“I don’t believe he can avoid questions that don’t risk incriminating him.”

Unless granted immunity he can take the 5th on any question asked. Even if they just ask his name.
