Quoted: Chauvin has no chance........the cororner said Floyd had fatal levels of fentanyl in him but didn't go as far as saying he died from it. That will nail Chauvin in this political climate........he has no chance of acquittal. Chauvin's only hope would have been if he was black. View Quote Let's run a hypothetical here: You a juror and instructed by the judge that the DA is required to prove all elements of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt. Evidence shows victim had a blood concentration of drugs which is "often" seen in OD deaths. Obviously there is _way_ more to it, but lets keep it simple. You assume that the when picked at random not even 8% of the population are honest and open minded enough to realize that this fact and the burden of proof don't compute because of liberal bias. But the fact is 27% of the votes for Pres went to Trump. Murder is simply going to be damned hard to prove, and made harder by over charging. He may well catch a manslaughter conviction IDK, but the murder charge seems like a steep hill to climb. I say 75% chance of hung jury on murder. |

They've sealed Defendent's chances of getting a new trial with venue change when appealed to federal court by all their preparations. It proves he can't receive a fair trial because of the pressure the unrest will place on jurors to convict. Of course they'll have ruined him by then, which was the point. I do believe he is likely guilty of whatever the charge in MN is for disregarding Floyd's medical distress, but he deserves a trial in another venue.

The Cops screwed up big time in this case. Some heads need to roll. On the other hand it's the Twin Cities. They are just getting the end results of what they wanted and have been forcing on the rest of the State.

Heads up, an appeals court is hearing the final appeal to add 3rd degree murder back in to the charges today.
If allowed he'll be charged with 2nd degree murder, 3rd degree murder and 2nd degree manslaughter in Floyd's death. Sounds like a fishing expedition to me. https://kstp.com/news/key-hearing-in-chauvin-case-scheduled-for-monday-at-minnesota-court-of-appeals-february-26-2021/6025051/ |

They'll all likely walk. Or at worst, Chauvin will get some BS charge, but manslaughter/murder won't stick.

We must remember that Covid is still important! As such, only one member each of both Floyd's and Chauvin's family will be allowed in the courtroom during the trial.

Local top attorney was on sports talk radio a few weeks back.
He said the rumor is that there is no evidence of bruising or broken blood vessels on Floyd’s neck. According to him, without one or the other, proving asphyxiation will be almost impossible. I saw two out of state attorneys were added to the prosecution team. Probably because Hennepin county has been disqualified and Ellison has never tried a case. |
