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

[The Last Stand]

The Boondocks R.Kelly trial was less of a joke than this shit show.

Where's McGruder when you need him?

Isn't it sad, yet hilarious at the same time? We sneer and deride the various justice systems of centuries past as being "cruel", or "backwards", or "nonsensical", yet here we are, observing a case which already was fairly clear-cut, and only gets more so with every passing day, spending hundreds of man hours and millions of dollars trying to appease an angry mob and an even angrier political agenda. A case constructed purely out of a combination of an emotional reaction to a crime scene, filmed by multiple people, and a political cause du jour, where a convicted felon is being portrayed as a pure individual, despite a, let's say, storied and violent past being more than well documented. This, my weary friends, is what we call "Clown World". And I want out of the circus.

hmmmm yes chuckope and sneethe, american court system for what flaws it has is the pinnacle of what the world has ever seen, dumb monkey literal niggatry cases people mostly tune into for the show value don't discount that

One thing that I think is going to damn the prosecution's case is that every single witness makes it sound like Cup Foods is the epicenter of ghetto bullshit in the greater Minneapolis area.

"Yes, we have a police camera mounted at that intersection."
"Yes, we get a lot of murders at that intersection."
"Yes, the manager of Cup Foods open carries."
"Yes, between the beginning of them pinning Floyd and the time the EMTs got there, the number of onlookers went from 1 to 14 with more people getting there every minute and they were yelling at the cops."

And the irony of it all is that people will look at that and say "yea, that's normal, so what?" instead of it being a very clear problem with the neighborhood in general.

Don't forget the cup food cashier knowing which way the ambulance drives if the patient is dead.

i switched to ABC and they're carrying on the trial so its not an "everyone needs to see this" conference so they can suck my nuts

 

[talk sh1t]

Prosecution has been full on retard this whole trial, its insane

What if the defense turns out to be just as retarded and they end up playing in favour of the prosecution?
This is 2021 after all.

 

[Feline Supremacist]

lol this old fart hasn't been out on the street in years and thinks a hostile crowd isn't a problem. Throw him in the middle of the upcoming riots and guaranteed he shoots his way out.

Considering the Judge has been over-ruling the prosecution's objections more than the defense, it's pretty clear which group of people are the more retarded ones.

 

[Techpriest]

The main problem for the defense is the prosecution is still making a good case of culpable negligence.

I'm sure back in his day, academy training was just wailing on heavy bags with their night sticks.

So I've been following this and think I have a reasonable grasp of most of it but one thing confuses me. How is it that so many options are open as to whether he might get sentenced to Manslaughter or 3rd degree murder or what. I was under the impression you had to make one charge and have to prove it. Not that you could turn up with a full buffet of charges to throw at someone and see what sticks.

I mean sure - some things get rolled together into one trial like you could charge assault separately from the burglary that accompanied it, but can you do that when they overlap? Like try to prove manslaughter and murder at the same time?

I can't exactly say Chauvin has a Dream Team. He barely has a team at all. But he has Eric Nelson, and while I can't say he's Johnny Cochran, he's bretty gud. He'll do a good job. He may be massively outnumbered, but he is not outgunned.

old man is prosecutions best witness, crowd doesnt factor because they werent suss.

I didn't bother asking, but I was wondering the same thing. How can you simultaneously charge someone with both intentional and unintentional killing?

Sorry, YT boy, this is real life, the saint gets the girl
