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

[DiabeticSP]

Cahill stated in this morning hearing that any hint to this particular evidence that the jury would not be seeing would result in a mistrial. Period.

No mistrial. They're going forward. Damn.

But he mentioned it what the fuck.
"Mention this its a mistrial"
"You mentioned it but its not a mistrial"

 

[MoeChotto]

im retarded pls be slow but Tobin said that GF had "98% oxygen saturation" what does that mean?

What did he say?

He made a reference to blood-gas tests by Hennepin County medical center that were not initially submitted as evidence and were deemed untimely and mistrial-worthy.

Guess again. Biden doesn't give a fuck either way and the riots are going to happen regardless of what occurs due to the media storm not having Trump anymore and resorting to hate crime clicks. Daunte Wright is enough for them.

Either way, the blue liberal cities are fucked regardless of this trial outcome. It doesn't even matter and every single fucking person knows it. If anything, a win for the defense would possibly distract from other Biden issues (Such as the border crisis) because people nonstop will just be posting about BLM instead of focusing on real important government policy.

Another round of riots would be a far bigger disaster than the border which is only a socal-southwest issue, meanwhile the riots would happen all over blue cities

There wont be riots, this time riot cops will be deployed en masse and there wont be friendly coverage. Media agents already said post election they manipulated everything to get rid of trump, they wont be doing the same this time, there wont be any corporations shilling for the riots now

Mistrial doesn't guarantee he walks though, can't they just retry him?

idk lol

Imagine fucking a trial up like this when you're the attorney general.

yeah imagine fucking up a slam dunk case cause your prosecution got cocky, unimaginable
reddit told me it couldn't happen so chauvin is definitely guilty I guess

I think some of you misheard. My understanding was that the clarification Blackwell asked for indicates that this evidence was in existence before the trial, but had not been disclosed to the prosecution until yesterday, and it was provided to them, they did not seek it out. Therefore, bringing it up could not cause a mistrial. If the prosecution had proactively obtained/created new evidence DURING the trial, then yes it would be a mistrial. That's my understanding at least.

@AnOminous can you weigh in?

This sounds to me like "Chewbacca is a wookie" and goes on from there.

Also if it's exculpatory evidence the prosecution had but didn't turn over, that's called Brady material and failure to turn it over is not only grounds for a mistrial, or reversing a conviction, but anything up to discipline or disbarment of the prosecutor (don't hold your breath though). This is assuming this is actually material that would have helped the defense. Even as an accident, it's mistrial material.

And then bringing it anyway after being told not to and that it could result in a mistrial seems really stupid, unless they think they've botched their case so completely they're having the dumb guy "accidentally" flip over the table by deliberately causing one.

The judge is probably going to take a break because he's going to have to crack some books open to figure out how to finish the trial without creating a successful appeal, or whether he can let the "mistake" slide, or give a curative jury instruction. Lmao this is going to be a working break for him.

"We had the evidence but didnt submit it because nobody ever asked explicitly for it" is retarded.

Prosecutors are fucking legally required to do that last I checked.

 

[aussiejinjo]

why did the defense rest? was it not advantageous for them to call in their other witnesses given that it would be cumulative?

i really hope the jury is seeing this clusterfuck right now and has become increasingly uncomfortable with the prosecution and their tactics

 

[DumDum Did Nothing Wrong]

lmao, prosecution almost blew their case at the last minute.

 

[germboy]

Both defence and prosecution have rested their case, closing statements coming on monday, after that jury will be sequestered to deliver a verdict

I stopped being a leech on society and got a job so I missed everything today. Anything I should catch up with or was it all queer

Chauvin just needs to stay out of Nevada and he will be good is what you're telling me?

 

[Dr. Geronimo]

Its over until Monday now.

 

[Celebrate Nite]

These boomers better disable the wifi on those laptops or have some sort of internet blocker on them otherwise they are fucked.

 

[7he47r0n]

Could someone please fill me in on what happened? I missed most of today's deliberations.

 

[Dan Abrams]

Jurors get to go home and Google what Dr. Tobin let slip and watch the riots for 4 days

 

[AnOminous]

Prosecutors are fucking legally required to do that last I checked.

It's Brady if it's material and exculpatory. If it wouldn't have helped the defense, or isn't material, it isn't. If it isn't, though, how come they sprung it as surprise evidence at the end like a really shitty law TV show? At best, it doesn't look good.

If you were conspiratorially minded, you might think they deliberately had their expert "discover" this at the last moment so they could claim it wasn't prosecutorial misconduct, it was some other guy who wasn't a lawyer fucking up.

That way they get to trigger a mistrial but get to have another.

Willingly or unwillingly, the jury being exposed to the 'new evidence' would still be grounds for a mistrial because you can't erase the jury's memory.

If there's anything I learned from this trial, it's the fact that you can fix anything with enough meth.
