Derek Chauvin is charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter
He didn't kill two guys. This almost seems like double jeopardy. Or something.
He’ll be charged with being the second gunman on the grassy knoll by the time muslim ellison gets done with him.
Numb nuts Attorney Benjamin Crump is asking for 1st Degree Murder charges.
Wait until he charges the person who videoed it with being an accomplice to murder.
I was curious about why 2 charges as well.
Is this intended to allow a jury leeway to choose?
Serious question for lawyers here.
“He didn’t kill two guys. This almost seems like double jeopardy. Or something.”
It’s not double jeopardy. It’s alternative legal theories on which the defendant could be convicted.
As a practical matter, there had to be a charge with “Murder” on it or the Dem’s fear their base would be even more pissed off than they are. But in reality, it doesn’t matter what they do. Their base is pissed off regardless.
