The Trial of Derek Chauvin - Judgement(?) Day(?) has arrived!

CNN and MSNBC are both showing Joe Fucking Biden instead of the trial.

Lügenpresse.

Black people aren't useful again until 2024, sorry lmao

 

[Not Really Here]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but isn't evidence admitted on some form of negotiation basis where they go "okay, we accept that this is admitted but only under these circumstances?" The defense probably wanted it admitted but the prosecution would only allow it if it was introduced by one of their witnesses.

No....Just no.

Meh, this trial is gonna last some time. Trials aren't like Perry Mason, they're long and tedious procedure. Biden has some infrastructure announcement.

 

[The Nameless One]

Personally, seeing this footage from one of the cops behind the car definitely makes the scene sound much more chaotic with all the shouting. You'd have no idea how many people were on the other side.

I actually disagree there. It's not politically advantageous right now for them to have riots in the cities like it was a year ago. Their guy is at the head of the executive branch, and after all the blame they laid at Trump for the riots they would have to answer for that.
I just think this might be the best the prosecution can do in this case. The outrage over Floyd was always emotionally driven, and the US court system isn't built to be driven by pathos.

Rule of thumb, never underestimate the Democrats capacity for being blithering idiots.

Chauvin himself. I'm sure the cross examination would be brutal, but they really have to show this guy as a sympathetic human being, and the jury is going to assume that if he doesn't testify, it's because he can't because he actually did intend to kill Floyd.

Also he should turn on the waterworks for real and express remorse, while walking the tightrope between that and still maintaining he was either justified in what he did, or at least was up to a point, or that he fucked up. Being confused and afraid by an angry mob hooting and hollering is certainly one human way to explain a fuckup like this.

Yes, and in this case, when Baden gets introduced, both the prosecution and defense are going to want to bring up his record, but for different reasons. The prosecution because it establishes that he is a highly renowned expert in his field, and the defense because he invariably testifies in the manner most favorable for the party paying him.

The prosecution may try to soften up the cross examination by bringing up O.J. themselves. I seriously don't think that would hurt him much with this jury, but you still don't want the jury hearing things from your witness the first time on cross examination. It looks like you were hiding it.

Baden is very likely to weather even a brutal cross examination. He is absolutely excellent at what he does. Which is lie for money.

I just assumed he would not testify. Cross would not be fun. May be you can humanize, the guy...

It's his right not to testify as well. And I don't know if I would ever testify in a criminal trial against myself. Seems foolish.

Doth my eyes deceive me or does footage they showed just now show chauvins knee on Floyd’s upper back rather than neck?

Woah. That's not good for the prosecution.

 

[Sicko Hunter]

Every single time I hear about Floyd being "executed" while clearly resisting arrest I think of Daniel Shaver a white,unarmed man gunned down in his 20s by an actual pyscho cop. Not a fucking word from the media since while we have video of him begging for his life as this cop pins down an UNARMED man

It's March 31st. I think the fooling jumped the gun.

 

[Retard#7822]

Dude why is the prosecution showing this??? They're legit showing nothing but professional cops lmao.

 

[murdered meat bag]

"did you take any drugs?"
no

"and you got foam around your mouth?"

yes.

prosecution sucks man.

 

[Hüftpriester]

This bodycam footage makes it pretty clear that all Floyd had to do was the bare minimum in terms of compliance and he'd most likely be alive today.

Finally a decent witness

I found his pre-recorded statement

Spoiler: Statement

Prosecution: Now we'd like to show the body-worn camera of Officer Keung.

Wayyyyy too chipper voice from the defense attorney: No objection, your honor!

God, that would be top tier comedy.

 

[Don't Tread on Me]

I think a lot of times these cases get tangled up in what's a crime, whose responsible, and what shouldn't ever happen.

Breonna Taylor is that way for me, ultimately the blame lies on three people:

The detective who lied to obtain the warrant
The culture that allows these keystone cops to LARP as Seal team six over dime bags of drugs
The Judges who rubber stamp this nonsense

Was there a prosecutable case against the officers on the scene? Probably not, but that doesn't mean the rest of the system isn't to blame for what happened.

Drugs are only illegal because of legislation. You should blame Congress for not legalizing everything.
