I think a mistrial should be declared on several grounds.

But the reality is these motions are pro forma and almost never granted. They basically set up the appeal.

The first one wasn’t a trial, it was a kangaroo court.

The fear factor for the jurors along with activist/lying juror alone would get him a mistrial in any jurisdiction in the US.

Fair trials are fundamental!

He claims he doesn’t “remember” the shirt. Either he has that shirt or he doesn’t. What is this about not remembering. I think he is lying to cover up his other lies about not attending marches. His uncle posted the photo on his Facebook page. Either

they lie..period.

we all know this from “eye witnesses” who said Mike Brown had his hands up and was shot in the back. We know this from the fat chick who was shot raging with two females with a knife when social media reports came in that the she was unarmed from “eye witnesses”

“I say he deserves another trial.”

I agree. Whether or not he’s guilty, we’re finding out the jury was compromised. Fair is fair.

George Floyd put no value on his own life, Why should we.
It was a self inflicted drug overdose.

I would say he needs a summary judgment dismissing all charges because it is crystal clear Floyd died at his own hand not Chauvin’s knee.

That said, I THINK he pulled a smart move. Namely, he hired a cheap lawyer for Trial # 1 KNOWING that Clarence Darrow himself with unlimited staff could not get him off in a local trial with a local, scared to death, jury.

Trial # 2 will likely be a different story. I look for a change of venue, a sequestered jury, and well paid TOP lawyer(s) to represent him. Newt put up the “Kenosha Kid’s” money. I’m betting some rich conservative somewhere in the world will help out Chauvin.

He wants a new Political Show Trial because his first Political Show Trial was too Political.

Hmmmm, at first glance I say he deserves another trial. Waiting to hear from other Freepers.


I think he should get another trial. One of the jurors clearly engaged in misconduct, lied in his responses to questions when he was being screened in the jury pool. Any other citizen would get a new trial, and Derek Chauvin should get a retrial if he wants one.

Don’t worry, Black Live Matter will love this. The were really depressed when the jury delivered the guilty verdicts. They were all dressed up to riot with nowhere to go.

Let’s see the biden Politburo handle the riots!!!!


Don’t forget what Plugs Biden was quoted as saying when the verdicts were announced: if Chauvin had not been found guilty, the feds were going to IMMEDIATELY arrest him and charge him with all kinds of civil rights violation crimes.

Derek Chauvin will never get out of prison, one way or the other, and he’s now in solitary confinement for his own safety.
