The trial of Derek Chauvin grinds on. Currently, the prosecution is still putting on its case, but it may want to stop doing so before the court is forced to dismiss the case altogether. As Andrew Branca, at Legal Insurrection, explained after the eighth day of the trial, “once again, the defense weaponizes prosecution ‘expert’ witness against the prosecution case.” But if you want the full flavor of the madness in Minneapolis, you must read Ann Coulter’s case summary.
A brief rundown here to orient you: George Floyd, a convicted violent felon, passed a fake $20 bill. When the police arrived, Floyd was clearly under the influence and complaining that he couldn’t breathe. The police tried to get him into the back of their car, at which point he went wild.
Concluding that Floyd was suffering from excited delirium (i.e., a probably drug overdose), Derek Chauvin restrained Floyd in textbook fashion, by placing him on his stomach with Chauvin’s knee across Floyd’s shoulder. The police also called 911 for a paramedic. While all this was going on a crowd gathered, filming what was happening and hurling angry, threatening imprecations at the police. Then Floyd died.
You know the rest: America caught on fire; Black Lives Matter got in the driver’s seat of the American political, social, and economic establishment; every white person who wasn’t bowing to the mob became a racist; Trump was driven from office; and we now have an administration dedicated to “equity,” which means enshrining racism into federal law and regulations, something that’s highly unconstitutional but our quisling Supreme Court probably won’t care.
Meanwhile, the coroner’s report established that Floyd didn’t die from suffocation, but from a massive Fentanyl overdose (on top of the other drugs in his system). Nevertheless, the BLM mob wanted blood.

Apparently, no one is watching the trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer on trial for the murder of George Floyd. Otherwise, the media couldn’t get away with their spectacular lying to the public about how the prosecution is killing it.
It’s quite the opposite. In fact, in less than a week, the prosecution’s theory of the crime has subtly shifted from MURDER! to “failed to provide what we would say, in retrospect, would be a full and complete duty of care during the one- to three-minute interval between Floyd’s resisting the police to his dying, as a hostile crowd screamed obscenities at the police officers.”
The defense hasn’t even begun to make its case, but the prosecution’s witnesses keep helping Chauvin. (The only exception to the wild media lying is Headline News, where the lawyer commentators go the extra mile by watching the trial.)
Week One was chock-a-block with weeping bystanders wailing about how they felt watching Chauvin restrain Floyd. This would be tremendous evidence if the charge against Officer Chauvin were “first-degree upsetting bystanders.” But that’s not the charge. That’s not even a crime.

how can there be a “trial” when guilt has already been established
Exactly.
There will be blood.
The Police Chief said it was murder before the trial!!!
Meanwhile, the coroner’s report established that Floyd didn’t die from suffocation, but from a massive Fentanyl overdose (on top of the other drugs in his system).”
Anyone have access to this?
Can’t say I trust even conservative media to report facts, as opposed to opinion....
I’m still waiting for Ann’s TREASON 2.0 book.
Left wing, right wing, up or down wing, none of them are unaware of the consequences of an acquittal.
By resisting arrest, the black drugged out criminal violated the cop’s right to a safe work place
If Coulter’s descriptions are correct (sometimes she’s prone to hyperbole ;o) ), it would explain the lack of “play by play” of the trial.
And, again if Coulter is accurate, Chauvin and the other officers will be acquitted and we’re going to have hell in the streets - again . . .

Circulation disease, heart disease and loaded up with stimulants. Gee, I wonder what the cause of death was? /s
Correcto! It'll be burn baby burn either way!
If I’m a juror, I’m getting out of Dodge as soon as the trial’s over. Hopefully their families are already somewhere safe.
I wonder if any Republican mayors, with balls, in various places, are saying, not in my city, not on my watch?
And it will be much worse than after the Zimmerman acquittal. This is a different culture.
Well, we’ll see by the verdict if it’s really a trial or just a show trial.
thanks...that’s helpful.
Does a coroner’s report usually state a “cause of death” in straight up, unequivocal terms....like “time of death”?
What I see there is a listing of conditions. Yes, we all know that stuff is bad. But that says nothing as such about the cause of death.
Even a person in a hospice who is dying, can still be murdered...the criminal law has to allow for that possibility. The question is, what is the immediate cause of this death (of a very unhealthy person)?
I suspect (but don’t know) that the writer at American Thinker/Coulter inserted their own analysis and said point blank, “the coroner’s report established that Floyd didn’t die from suffocation, but from a massive Fentanyl overdose”...
All that said, I also believe it to be the case the Fentanyl plus is the likely cause of death....but in the criminal law context, that is for the jury to decide...

I was no fan of Coulter’s perspective on Trump, but that article was her at her best.
RE: And it will be much worse than after the Zimmerman acquittal.
Zimmerman’s acquittal was nothing compared to what happened with Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. His death accelerated the rise of Black Lives Matter. George Floyd’s death further accelerated it.
