If some jurors are on murder and refuse to come down, some are on manslaughter and refuse to go up. Does that come out as manslaughter in the end?
I'm not a lawyer but if the jury can't agree on a guilty not guilty issue then its a hung jury and they'll have to retry.

I'm glad Nelson is showing the video of Floyd wiggling his way through the entire backseat of the cruiser even with three cops trying to stop him.

"I can't breeve! I can't breeeeve! AAaaAaAHHHHHH!!!!!" Anyone who has has the wind knocked out of them knows what it's like to not be able to breathe (and be in extreme discomfort), and that ain't it.

The only reason I think it's not so simple is that manslaughter is a lesser, included charge.
 
I've reset the poll for the last mile. Place your bets ladies and gunts.
My money's on them finding him not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter.

You can't prove premediation but you can argue that he had some role in his death. Chauvin being convicted also hopefully means that the peaceful racial justice protests will have slightly less er... peace and racial justice.

Murder 2 doesn't have to have premeditation.
