If we had a functioning criminal justice system, Joe Biden would be in jail and Derek Chauvin would be free. . . .
I think they both agree that it will be upheld and Dersoshitz is proving my point. Lawyers are great actors.
There is no doubt that this trial was unfair, it can’t be given the interloper in the white house publicly stating that he prays the jury returns the right verdict, let alone maxine waters crap.. and BLM...
However, will the verdicts be overturned?
The key to this from where I sit, is was what this officer did felonious assault... if it was, the murder 2 is never going to be turned over on appeal.
If however that charge is overturned there there is no way he can be guilty of murder 2.
This will play out on appeal for years.
Does “reversed on appeal” mean the verdict will be changed by an appeal court to not guilty, or that the verdict will be vacated and there will be another trial?
The latter I think by a slam dunk.
Dershowitz has one of the sharpest legal minds in the entire country and is almost always right in his judicial prognostications, all while contending with his abhorrence of the media spotlight.
I would only point out that Jeanine Pirro is on double-secret probation from Fox because of things she said in the aftermath of the election. It’s clear that the coverage directive from management has been received by Fox news contributors.
IOW, what Pirro thinks and what she says on TV are not necessarily identical.
A new trial may be ordered?
Janine obviously thinks that trial by mob is a-ok? Another reason that I have tuned out of fox!
Chauvin should have testified. The jury was stuck on stupid of 9 minutes and what they think he looked like and what they assume was in his head. He had nothing to lose knowing he was not getting a fair trial.
one thing about Alan D, he can often be very honest (especially for a far leftie)
gotta give him some credit for this!
