The jury members want themselves and their families to live; they’ll vote guilty even though he isn’t.
The left always plays it’s cards from ‘under the table’ because they got nothing in their hands to win even a single hand. So nothing is ever as it appears to be.
I’m in downtown Minneapolis - about three blocks from the Hennepin County Govt Center.
At work, we just got the word to pack it up and be out by 3PM.

They sent emails to us here in Ohio telling us to scram now if we are working in any of our downtown offices in the major cities in Ohio.
I work from home.
I can see it now, 12 trembling jurists sitting around the table. The foreman asks for a straw poll, they all say guilty on all counts in less than a minute. The foreman looks at them trembling and says, we, we got to stay here for at least a half day to pretend we're deliberating.
Stay safe.
Kid has classes in town tonight. Will talk with the wife and maybe we skip this week
I think you run into the Ronald Opus problem here: even if he would have died from a drug overdose, hastening his death by so much as a second makes it murder.
There’s no need to prove Floyd could have been saved by that particular individual with the equipment on hand; they need only prove that Floyd would have lived even a second longer if not for the actions of Derek Chauvin, and that those actions were not justified under the circumstances.
I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, I’m just saying that from a legal standpoint, Chauvin is in a very tight spot. Normally he’d be protected in a case like this as an officer of the law performing his duty, but we’re living in strange times.
Just watching the local news in our lunch area...
Reporter says people are heading towards the govt center. Didn’t indicate whether they were people who just wanted to be there or whether they were demonstrators.
The reporter said she could hear someone yelling thru a megaphone but wasn’t sure if it was police or a protestor.
I’m retired, but a friend who works in downtown Chicago was just told to go home.
A guilty verdict because the jury does not want the NY Slimes plastering their names and addresses all over the place!!! Get their homes torched. I doubt even an appellate court will overturn the verdict. Cowards!!
And so that we get one last free lunch...
Nah...before long the blacks will just grab onto another loser and play this all over again. It’s their way of acquiring wealth from the government and looting.
I hope they can afford the plywood.
2020 Minnesota Statutes
609.205 MANSLAUGHTER IN THE SECOND DEGREE.
A person who causes the death of another by any of the following means is guilty of manslaughter in the second degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than ten years or to payment of a fine of not more than $20,000, or both:
(1) by the person’s culpable negligence whereby the person creates an unreasonable risk, and consciously takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm to another; or
(2) by shooting another with a firearm or other dangerous weapon as a result of negligently believing the other to be a deer or other animal; or
(3) by setting a spring gun, pit fall, deadfall, snare, or other like dangerous weapon or device; or
(4) by negligently or intentionally permitting any animal, known by the person to have vicious propensities or to have caused great or substantial bodily harm in the past, to run uncontrolled off the owner’s premises, or negligently failing to keep it properly confined; or
(5) by committing or attempting to commit a violation of section 609.378 (neglect or endangerment of a child), and murder in the first, second, or third degree is not committed thereby.
If proven by a preponderance of the evidence, it shall be an affirmative defense to criminal liability under clause (4) that the victim provoked the animal to cause the victim’s death.

They might get Chauvin on (1) on the basis of culpable negligence by (as per my understanding) not allowing the paramedic to intervene.
Thanks. Fortunately, I am in safe suburb.
And you'll never know either. When the violence begins, it will be absolute chaos from the start. It'll quickly become impossible to tell who's a rioter and who's trying to make it out of that situation alive. All the more reason to not be anywhere near there.
In my workplace, everyone has been pretty tight-lipped about it. No one seems to want to give an opinion.
....The jury members want themselves and their families to live ...
Yep, just like Stalin’s Russia.
They could declare him guilty then ship him out to another country to live out his days....either way this goes it’s about obtaining undeserved wealth over the body of a dead loser just as it was in Ferguson.
“I hope all the stores have boarded up.”
“I hope they can afford the plywood.”
No kidding. $36 for OSB.
“No one seems to want to give an opinion.”
Just like in the book 1984.
