The great thing about law talking on the Internet is at least in real countries like the United States, the law is public (and where it is not it is really bad but let us not go into that now).
You can confirm every claim I made. Including the existence of such a thing as a
Motion for Judgment as a Matter of Law in Minnesota. It's amazing! Not even absolute charlatans such as I can deceive you when there are publicly available sources that actually tell you the law!
And you can even find shit that says I'm wrong, if I actually am, and then talk mad shit about me.
Absolutely nobody can make certain statements about juries, though, because they can do anything. I'm betting on this jury convicting this asshole of something. No matter what it is, it's getting appealed. Denying the motion for a change of venue, after the entire jury pool more or less stated they already personally hated the defendant, is pretty amazing.
Way to set up an appeal, idiots.
And on that general subject, why not grant a change of venue? Obviously the defense would want to move it to a white enclave, but seriously, would moving it to St. Paul have been a huge deal? What reason could they have for not changing venue other than that they're literally rigging the trial to guarantee a conviction?
