The original complaint, I believe, stated that Floyd was "wasted" and was barely coherent. It was part of the reason why the clerk was intimidated to accept money that he immediately spotted as being counterfeit. He thought that if he didn't, Floyd would turn violent.
So I'll step back, slightly, from my original statement. A skilled prosecutor, with the right judge and jury, could indeed cross the "beyond a reasonable doubt" threshold.
But I still say that the process was grossly unfair. Every state official and every news outlet, including Fox News, was foaming at the mouth for Chauvin to charged and convicted of nothing less than murder. The entire process, including the judge and probably the jury, was rife with hysteria and intimidation.
it was bad graphics....but he didn't kill that druggie.....that druggie killed himself....
life is not fair.....and there's that time and chance thingy....
like in Shawshank, bad luck is going to land on somebody.
