There should be a mistrial. Too many leaks, state money given to the family, openly biased jurors, etc. etc.

“No evidence at the trial says he contributed to Floyd’s death. None. Yet, they convict??”

None of this makes any logical sense. But LOGICAL isn’t what’s important in this country.

I would suggest there were jurors afraid of being branded racists and eventually doxed by BLM member OF THE JURY. Be assured there was intimidation going on.

He won’t live five years.

He probably won’t live to see 2022.

The mob demands blood

Biden DOJ already has begun, opened a Civil Rights criminal case vs. Chauvin to ensure he never is released from prison.

Need to move the trial to the burbs or rural area. If they retry in the city, it’ll be the same verdict as these people want their pound of flesh.

A juror (at least one, anyway) lied in voir dire about his participation in blm rallies. That’s a mistrial in my book plus contempt of court of the juror.

And it is still curious to me how the cop can be charged and convicted with three counts of murder on one person.

Hmmmm, at first glance I say he deserves another trial. Waiting to hear from other Freepers.

To me it's a slam dunk he should get a new trial - and out of Minneapolis.

The trial, in the midst of a rioting mob, reminded me of a common scene in old TV Westerns.

A lynch mob has formed outside the jail, where a notorious horse thief is being held. The hero Sheriff/Marshal stands at the jail-house door, and racks a shotgun. He then says something like: “I’ll shoot anyone who tries to break in and lynch the prisoner. He’s going to get a fair trial first — then we’ll hang him.”

It just doesn’t look like the way I’ve ever imagined a fair trial looks.

He does deserve a new trial. But Minneapolis can’t afford it

Unfortunately every justice organization sees him as a dangerous hot potato and will deny him his due process of a fair trial. So sad but that is a fact. Nobody in their right mind would wanna take it up after what the mediapukes the BLM the president his administration Maxine Waters etc. have done to this poor man. But at the end vengeance is mine says the Lord!

He deserves one alright, but it won’t make any difference whether he gets one or not. Public opinion has already decided he’s guilty.

I wondered if pic is photoshopped...

the juror claims he does not recall ever having that shirt.

I have seen some amazing ‘shopped photos that look real and some that are real which look fake.

Just saying...

He needs jurors who can keep there identity secret. Very major penalty for officials or media that dox them. And if that doxing leads to the death of a juror then manslaughter charges against such media or officials.

They can’t afford NOT to have a new trial. With some truth for a change.

He will get one and the results will absolutely be overturned there is no way I’m living hell he committed murder

But they’ve appease the leftist mob and hopefully they can just have the retrial in a different venue under the radar and so they won’t be leftist riots and murder when he does get freed
