It is baffling that they have decided to make George their martyr, from tactical standpoint. A quick dig into who he was paints a dumb ugly picture. Taylor would have been the better hill to die on, but the left doesn't care about dead black women.

Like I said before and I'll say it again. It was prime time for the Media at that point. Cause Covid was just starting, and so was Election season, so they found some nigga getting pinned down by police, and basically tuned up the chimping out to fucking 11 to help and point at trump for how terrible he is, all the while letting BLM do whatever the fuck they want, along with Antifa.

I highly doubt they care about his background, he was just at the right place at the right time.

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet or not, but here's the witness list for the prosecution and defendant.

Well, that answers one of my questions. I think it is a mistake not to call Chauvin himself, but obviously, defense counsel has more information than I do. Maybe he really is a complete piece of shit and they can't put him on the stand. I still think if the jury doesn't have any idea what Chauvin was actually thinking, they will tend to fill in that empty space with the most negative inferences available.

That said, if the prosecution keeps nuking their own case, why interrupt them?

To counter, cross-examination of Chauvin would become a massive circus. Also, the jury is not well predisposed to a White Male Police Officer and it seems to me putting him on tthe stand is just begging for things to go off the rails. If they think they can prove it without putting him up, why risk it?

And that's really not possible outside of lab with tens of thousands of dollars of equipment. A SINGLE GRAIN of ordinary table salt is more than 50 micrograms on average, so imagine having to dose something 1/50th the size. You're talking dust particles of precision.

Its not hard. You mix it with something else, so it's bound in a heavier medium. 1 ng is tough, but 1 g containing 1ng is easy.

Think of coffee. Caffeine kills you pretty quick but no one has that issue.

It's generally a bad idea to put the person you're defending on the witness stand, one reason being because they'll be subject to cross-examination by the prosecution and subjects that are detrimental to the defense may be allowed. They also might not be a good witness overall.

Can they add him after the fact? I mean in the event it goes tits up and we're in week 6 does the, as defendant, have dinner kind of right to say his piece even if not named initially?
 
My predictions:

1. Chauvin is locked up for a few years for manslaughter. ut have his sentence reduce for good behavior.

2. Chauvin walks and summer of love 2021.

Can I get a summary of all the shit that's gone down so far? There's no way in hell that I'm reading through 184 pages of posts.

Highlights are worth it. There's only 30 or so.


Anyway.
Prosecution is doing a bad job seems to be the consensus amongst people who have a clue and popcorn munchers alike.


We've had some great entertaining witnesses. A fat probably coal smoking firefighter had to be told to shut up and stop arguing by the judge, there was a old black guy who was very touching, a stoic little black kid who is america's Helen of troy, he lit the match that sparked last year's summer of fire.

Edit oh we also got some new memes, George bought a banana with his fake 20 and had a little dance in the shop, very cute

That's irrelevant though. Even if you're taking a 50 or 100ng clump of fentanyl and making 50 30mg pills, you have to mix it until the fent is perfectly distributed, which isnt easily achieved. More likely, you'd have pills varying on doses by 200-300%.
