The jury can make all sorts of stupid decisions, but since he already had a fatal amount of drugs in his system and was already complaining that he couldn’t breath even before the “blood choke,” I would set him free, and hopefully onto the next Saint Floyd!
Did you watch the film. Did you watch the opening arguments. I was inclined to believe that a reasonable jury would acquit him before I saw the video. Now I would be hard pressed to believe any jury would acquit him.
Yeah Floyd was a loser and a scumbag. But there is no Reasonable doubt that the actions of Chauvin were contributory to his death. Maybe he would have died in the hospital, but he died on the street and Chauvin kept his knee on his neck for 3 minutes after he stopped complaining and resisting. It was awful. He’s going down.
