Judge In Chauvin Trial: Maxine Waters’ Remarks Could Lead To ‘Whole Trial Being Overturned’ On Appeal
Dailycaller ^

Posted on 04/19/2021 2:55:21 PM PDT by janetjanet998

Judge Peter Cahill, who is presiding over the case involving the death of George Floyd, said on Monday that remarks made by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) over the weekend could lead to the “whole trial being overturned” on appeal.

“And it is so pervasive that it is I just don’t know how this jury it can really be said to be that they are free from the taint of this,” the lawyer representing Derek Chauvin said. “And now that we have U.S. representatives, threatening acts of violence in relation to the specific case, it’s mind boggling to me, judge.”

That would justify more looting, in their minds.

The jury is not sequestered.

ARREST MadMAXINE for obstruction of justice, incitement to riot, making terrorist threats, etc., under color of authority.

She must NOT be allowed to walk away from her crimes.

If Maxine gets this tossed, she should be impeached and removed from office. What an idiot.

Waters is following orders from higher up. Nothing will happen to her in the House.
The Democrats want riots all summer long so they can continue to push their ant-police, anti-gun narrative. They don’t care who gets hurt.

If the judge thinks it is a problem, he should declare a mistrial. He should not wait for the appeal court to fix a problem. It is on him.

Maybe he is waiting to see if a guilty verdict comes back, then he declares a mistrial. I doubt if he has the balls for that.

They weren’t over the weekend.

Now that they are in deliberations I believe the jury was sequestered, but up until that point they were not so what is likely they have heard or read about her comments.

"The sensible thing to do for the current “judge” is simply declare and mistrial, and maybe..maybe...it’ll be turned over to someone who’s competent as a judge."

How is a new judge going to find a jury that is free of the taint of Maxine's threats?

He probably should have sequestered the jury. I think I read somewhere he didn't. But it's' still Maxine's fault. She should be charged with Jury Tampering.

The judge should just acquit him saying that it's impossible for him to get a fair trail.

This is only the latest of things that has happened that would make this a miss trial in my opinion. For example, refusing the change of venue is a huge issue. That should’ve been enough in my opinion.

“Pelosi and Waters” should never be used in the same sentence with the phrase, “best and brightest.”

If we had an actual DOJ this s**t would have been stopped dead last year.

There are are not that many of these assholes and many fewer of the actual organizers

They are flying to the hotspots to coordinate and instigate.

The DOJ knows who they are.

Sad fact is they both work for the same team, the Deep State.

The idiot cannot be impeached. She can be expelled by 2/3rds vote of the House—fat chance! If she were to be expelled she would simply run for her old seat again and win by an even larger margin, if possible. Per SCOTUS ruling the House would have to seat her.

She could perhaps be arrested, but oh wait, who is the Attorney General of Minnesota? Why it’s her former colleague, Kieth Ellison, who probably agrees with what she said.

I loved how Jim just casually sang the word “higher” even though he was told not to do so before going on.
