Chauvin Verdict In

[TheIncredibles!]

I am thrilled at the verdict but I wonder...what does the murderer believe? I honestly wonder if he has learned his lesson at all from this or if he still believes he did nothing wrong and plans to appeal? i am also thrilled that aside from a few, it feels as if we are coming together as a nation here. I have not seen too many truly negative opinions about the murdered being found guilty.

Does anyone think that Chauvin was surprised with his face reaction with guilty verdict? I think he thought he would be found innocent.

Hard to say. He looked to me like his emotion was more along the lines of this.

rather than surprise.

Nope. Good cops are very much in favor of positive changes, and also in favor of getting rid of bad cops.

I don’t doubt that at all. But the conservative radio host seem to think that the detective would completely support exonerating any police officer for any action at all.

it’s not a show I listen to often, but I like to hear different perspectives. This particular host is one of the ones that’s always screaming angry about some thing and calls everyone he disagrees with a disrespectful name. He seemed a little taken aback that the detective didn’t want to put everyone who’s a addict in jail.

I said something. Floyd needed to be accountable for passing a fake 20. When your kneeling on someone you can tell if they are moving. He knew there was no movement from Floyd. And still kept his knee on his neck

Justice was served but trout mouth Maxine has made it possible for this to end up in appeals. I don't delight in the death of anyone but I am sick of this he was a hero nonsense. He was a convicted felon who held a woman at gunpoint. He was one of the many victims of murder we have daily in this country except he got a horse drawn carriage and a star studded funeral during a pandemic when others were not allowed to have ceremonies for their family members. Also if you read more on this case you would see this had nothing to do with him being a black man and everything to do with criminal activity that he and Chauvin were both involved in! Of course I am sure this will be reported and not a popular opinion but facts are facts!

I missed a lot of what was said in the past few days, but I will point out the jury was sequestered so they would not have heard anything that went on outside the trial.

Life is complicated, but I'm happy they held a police officer accountable for not upholding his duty at the very least. Two more trials to go (the other police officers at the scene), and with this verdict they should be a slam dunk.

I think I am the only person that doesn't think he looked surprised. It looked to me like it was he knew it was coming but was saving face looking every which way avoiding direct eye contact with anyone. There is no doubt when the jury came back so fast he knew he was done for.

Honestly, I think he knew he was done for from the beginning, but held out a shred of hope. I know it would have likely been suicide, but I really feel if he went on the stand and tried to give his own take it may have touched even one juror. But sitting there for 2 weeks next to Eric Nelson just constantly writing, showing zero emotion, the jurors could never connect. The only true connection they had of him was the picture of his face when he had his knee on George Floyd's neck.

This case is so gut-wrenching and yet at the same time it barely scratches the surface of much bigger society issues at hand. There's bigger society issues and underlying disadvantage circumstances at play here. Unless those issues are addressed, we'll continue the same pattern. This case is truly a no-win scenario for all involved. Change should be happening before, not after the fact and loss of life. We are better than this. We should be striving to do better continuously and constantly. A greater emphasis needs to be placed on humanity, equality, and kindness.

They were not sequestered until yesterday. They were told not to watch the news, but with how high profile this case was there is a very likely chance they inadvertently could have seen or heard about the case innocently logging on to laptop to read emails or watching TV. I know they talked about it during a game (either hockey or baseball, can't recall) and Nelson even said it was referenced on a prime time drama.

you are correct.

The jurors for Chauvin’s trial are partially sequestered. They park their cars at a secure location and are escorted into the courthouse through a private entrance. Once they are inside, they’re supervised at all times, even during breaks, but they are allowed to go home every night. That’s different from a full sequestration.

 

[FlightlessDuck]

Was that the teen girl with the knife?

Maybe? At the time is was kinda unclear.

 

[FlightlessDuck]

I was not implying asking hence the sentence being structured like a question? I am not sure I could have made it any simpler for you.

See, here I assumed you were being rhetorical. I guess I assumed you weren't being as simple as you were.

 

[FlightlessDuck]

As of right now it sounds like the girl who called the police to report the fight going on in the street was the one that was actually killed.

I don't like it when the media give juries a lot of publicity; they need to do their civic duty and not be bombarded.....

Gotcha. In Canada, jurors aren't supposed to watch TV or use the internet at all during trials. They can't talk to anyone about the trial, even family. People take this rule quite seriously -- I've been a juror and basically all we talked about was the fact that lunch wasn't included.

Hey, guess what?
I think the answer to your question might actually be "yes".

"The family says Bryant called the police for help because girls were fighting outside her house."

Oh I've been a juror, too....kind of sweeping transitions from one thing to another, before and after...

So much jurors are hearing no matter what. I always wanted to be on a jury and never got to. Now that I medically can not do it I keep being called. Figures.

 

[mefordis]

What did jurors hear?

Look it up. It's in today's Newsweek or other websites. I got points last time I posted a link the webmaster saw as a political website.

Google "alan dershowitz" in News.

George Floyd was scum but of course he didn’t deserved to be murder. The cop grin on his face while he was killing him was disgusting.
