BRANDON Mitchell, the BLM-supporting juror in Derek Chauvin's trial, has been accused of lying to infiltrate the ex-cop's case.
A criminal defense attorney said that Mitchell sitting on the jury gives Chauvin's team a "slam dunk reason" to overturn his conviction.
In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, attorney Jonna Spilbor accused Mitchell of lying to get on the jury.
"The irony is not lost that most people lie to get out of jury duty," Spilbor said.
"I think what we have here is somebody who lied to get on jury duty, specifically for this case, because we now have newly discovered information that a person on the jury is either a member of, or proponent of [Black Lives Matter].
"You cannot have a member of BLM on this particular jury any more than you could put a mother against drunk driving on a DWI trial. You absolutely cannot do that."
The attorney was referring to the recent news that Mitchell posted a photo of himself online over the summer wearing a BLM T-shirt that said, "Get your knee of our necks."
Mitchell was one of the 12 jurors who convicted ex-Minneapolis cop Chauvin of second and third-degree murder and manslaughter over the killing of George Floyd.

Oh the irony if a black dude wearing a blm shirt was the cause of the case being overturned.
This AH needs to be the national poster boy for the overturning of this verdict.
See how life for him in “The Hood” works out.
Should kept his big mouth shut...Ha Haa
This idiot should be prosecuted. He won’t be. Will the case be overturned? The Feds just indicted Chauvin again along with the other witnessing cops. That should be a clue.
There is a thread about this on another board I read. It is unbelievable the twisted logic liberals use to claim this juror did not lie.
The moment a liberal wakes up in the morning and opens their eyes, they are lying.
“...The moment a liberal wakes up in the morning and opens their eyes, they are lying....”
Yep. It’s definitely a chronic, no-cure mental disease.
They even constantly lie to themselves and believe their own BS.
Mistrail
I think Biden’s DOJ would have indicted Chauvin and the 3 other officers anyway. The fact that there is a photo of that juror wearing a t-shirt with those words about someone’s neck makes it a slam dunk that the conviction will be overturned and the prosecutors will have to do another trial.
In the 1950s I Led Three Lives TV series with Richard Carlson he had to somehow convince people he was not what he was (a spy working against the Commies), under constant pressure.
This dolt is such a dummy he was exposed within hours and went around wearing a BLM shirt and talking to people about his trick to infiltrate a jury. What a jerk. Must have been a D minus dropout student in reform school.
Since this douche canoe has absolutely no fear of accountability or consequences, he obviously feels free to flap his gums.
Care to bet whether he skates or not?
