Fox News host Jeanine Pirro agreed with a Minnesota jury's guilty verdict in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin and predicted the convictions would hold against an appeal.
Pirro, a former district attorney and an ally of former President Donald Trump who often praises law enforcement, said the decision to convict Chauvin of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter in the death of George Floyd was "supported by the facts."
"I've tried many murder cases, and I've sat as a judge on murder cases. It is rare that you even get a picture of the victim in a murder case ... but here, we had a living, breathing person that the jury was able to relate to. ... This was an emotional as well as an intellectual decision," she said on Tuesday. "And when I say that, make no mistake: The facts are solid on this verdict. This verdict will be upheld on appeal."
Pirro applauded the convictions as proof that "the American justice system works."
"For all those people that want to burn down streets, just let the court do its job," she added.

If only to say, "Our nation's jury system remains the finest way to provide justice".
Of course, he might also note the legal process may continue through the appellate phase to determine whether the very real threat of substantial local and national mob violence had an impact on the jury's deliberation.
“2 things: 1) He’s guilty”
If by “he” you mean fentanyl, then, yeah.
She shit-canned herself.
Now, now. She has a mansion to protect.
Pirro sold out to the Lefty Mob .
She is DONE.
I’m still trying to understand the three charges. Was he over charged? Why are ours not charged in this way, multiple charges for the same crime?
I agree
Can a lawyer or expert explain how one person who killed one other person be charged and convicted for three counts of manslaughter?
= = =
1 - He was a good boy.
2 - He was a loving father.
3 - He was a great athlete.
That’s three.
You’re a good woman, Judge, but sadly, you’re wrong; you should know the Left by now, at your age!
SO she says “Give us Barabus!” too ...
Imagine this involved a 150 lbs black cop restraining a 230 lbs Good Old White Boy in Georgia. Would a case have even been brought? I think not! Heck, the cop would probably have been given an award.
Sickening.
I am a lawyer and I don’t get it. Neither does any lawyer I have asked.
Conservatives eating their own again. No wonder liberals are kicking our ass. We deserve to lose with comments like yours.
I disagree with Trump, Tucker,Rush at times but don’t throw them under the bus.
bump
He was convicted of second degree murder, third degree murder and manslaughter which makes no sense at all.
I was sad to see her response. The facts are just the opposite. With 98% O2 saturation there was no breathing cut off. I realize everything in this is fake, but still upsetting.
Is expecting a fair trial the same as defending a dirty cop? Give me your honest thoughts.
Easy to prove in court. Have some one with a build similar to Chauvin put his knee on the neck of the defense attorney and see how long he can take it before he cries uncle.
“STOP WATCHING FOX!”
We haven’t watched Fox since 11/3/2020. We do not miss it one little bit! Just seeing the logo creeps me out now.
