The jury doesn't need to see Barnes hissing at Richards, nor 17 people crowded behind Rittenhouse so that he looks (a) rich and (b) lawyered up.
Any case like this come loaded with the challenge of educating the jury about self-defense involving firearms, and this judge seems willing so far to send the jury the right Instructions.
But if this concern trolling piece is how shabbily Victoria Taft intends to conduct PJ Media coverage of this trial, Aubrey Chernick and Roger Simon should have the slack jerked out of them.
Wrong. Chauvin's defense specifically passed on acknowledging the previous work relationship between Big Gorge and Chauvin. The two knew each other! They worked together at the nightclub El Nuevo Rodeo!
Had Chauvin's defense hammered home this previous relationship, Chauvin sure as hell would not be appealing Murder3 -- which the judge included "reluctantly", because Cahill was well aware that the 2 men knew each other! And you can't have the necessary mens rea of "depraved mind" for Murder3, when the 2 men knew each other!
All it would have taken is one witness to say that the two of them were 'friendly' to each other at El Nuevo Rodeo. Just one witness. One word!
One single witness statement like that, and Murder3 is mooted, and frankly Murder2 is much harder to make.
At the very least Maya Santamaria (El Nuevo Rodeo club owner) should have been cross-examined with ALL of her prior statements about the 2 men working the same nights at her club (she likes to talk).
Maya Santamaria. wasn't. even. listed. on. the. defense. witness. list.
Now you think about that when you say "excellent job". Chauvin was "jobbed" alright.
Cleaning graffiti left behind by Antifa/BLM as well, earlier that same day.
Well, why not. The judge allowed BLM activists who wanted to crucify Chauvin on that jury. Justice IS DEAD in this country. Conservatives beware. They, the democrats and marxist left, want us dead and they are establishing the means to disappear anyone who is their political enemy.
And the departed antifa goons are being celebrated as heroes. But with a chomo president is it any wonder that chomo supporters are supporting chomos???
Well gee sir scoldilocks-
there was no way the jurors were voting innocent- no way this side of hell because of the threats from blm and antifa if they did-
Everything argued by the defence was spot on- Chauvin did his job- as instructed to do with violent criminals who were overdosing, and did so i n the face of an increasingly hostile crowd while waiting for the ambulance to get there- The defense brought this out in no uncertain terms- there was NO reason for the jurors to vote like they did except for intimidation by blm- the facts supported an innocent declaration- not a guilty one- nothing he did was depraved- as pointed out by the defense- The prosecution failed to prove depraved mindset that would lead to Derek murdering someone— nothing in their arguments even came close to proving that-
Fix ... is .. in.
Yes, and that’s a false analogy.
Wrong. Chauvin’s defense specifically passed on acknowledging the previous work relationship between Big Gorge and Chauvin. The two knew each other! They worked together at the nightclub El Nuevo Rodeo!
that chauvin trial was a sham trial=- it was predetermined from the get go- absolute travesty of justice0-
