Derek Chauvin juror LIED about protest: Cop's hope of appeal boosted after picture emerges of juror at BLM rally wearing 'Get Your Knee Off Our Necks' T-shirt despite telling court he'd never been on a march

One of the jurors who convicted Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd last month defended his participation in a BLM protest last summer in Washington, DC, amid speculation it might be grounds for the cop's appeal.

A photo, posted on social media, shows Brandon Mitchell attending an August 28 event to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr's 'I Have a Dream' speech during the 1963 March on Washington.

It shows Mitchell, a high school basketball coach, standing with two other men and wearing a T-shirt with a picture of King and the words, 'GET YOUR KNEE OFF OUR NECKS' and 'BLM'. He is also wearing a baseball cap printed with Black Lives Matter.

We already know this case is going to be overturned on appeal; those jurors just handed it to them.

This will be the equal of the Trump admin appealing to the DC circuit....going no where. Same appeals court that put the murder charge back into play. “Its Chinatown Jake”

Yup. There will be an appeal to the chagrin of our oh-so angry resident cop-haters on FR. You know...the ones who always active when a white cop and a ghetto animal shot is involved, until the true facts come out and they shut up..

Yah,a t-shirt like that certainly *should* get him a new trial. But now that we know that the highest court in the land is absolutely content with a stolen Presidential (and Senatorial) election I wouldn't hold my breath if I were him.

I won't be surprised if the appeal is rejected. But even if Chauvin gets a new trial, would the outcome be any different? The jurors will still be worried about riots if they come up with the "wrong" verdict, and possibly with their identities becoming public.

Besides, this was just one juror out of 12 and expecting fair trials is an antiquated notion anyway.

Excellent news and a lesson for prosecutors going forward. Questioning prospective jurors isn’t enough, look at their social media activity too.

If the facts are as presented in this article, then there is a potential of a perjury charge against the juror... and definite re-trial bait.

There will be no consequences. Now the juror gets his 15 minutes.

You might like it when cops shoot “ghetto animals” but how about when they arrest regular folks for having too many people in their house, not wearing a mask or for going to church?

Sorry, cops are like guns. They are good if they are controlled by good people and bad when they are controlled by bad people. This is not the America you grew up in. We lost it.

I say defund the police.

I live in the first world around white people who all own guns. I don’t need the police.

Unfortunately, I believe you are right.

This tidbit of information, Mad Max and Mayor’s statements before verdict and that of the alternate juror confessing of BLM riot intimidation...Chauvin will likely get another trial...and should.

This juror lied to the court straight up.

A jury is supposed to be composed of the "peers" of the defendant. Peers for Chauvin are other police officers with similar experience. He didn't get a jury of his peers. It was a jury tilted in favor of the state including rabidly anti-police members who LIED in the jury selection process.
