Maybe the jury went with overkill in terms of finding Chauvin guilty on all three counts as a kind of “F*ck You!” to the system, the press, politicians, BLM, or all of the above.
They felt they had no choice but to find him guilty of something to prevent riots, so they found him of guilty of everything to drive that point home.
Scott Adams suggested about a week ago that the jury should find Chauvin guilty and then come out with a statement that they felt Chauvin was not guilty based on the evidence but found him guilty only to save the lives of their families and to keep the Twin Cities from burning.
They’d be killed for that statement anyway.
This is the Twin Cities. After all the riots last summer they still voted for Democrats by huge margins. They are not afraid of riots, they just hate cops.
If they found him not guilty the entire jury system nationwide would be at risk.
The jury will get book deals
