Hoping to be wrong, but considering it took less than a day I get the feeling he's guilty on all charges. Maybe a small chance of only manslaughter. Near-zero chance of full acquittal.

The outside pressure mixed with no jury sequestering was gonna be hard to overcome. Ultimately gonna come down to appeals farther on down the line, though it might a while with how hot things are right now.
 
People still salty Biden got elected fair and square :story:
Yep.


I could be wrong because I have not been watching the trial live. But from what I have seen it looks like the main thing the prosecution is saying is that Chauvin is guilty even if what he did did not physically kill him because of his refusal to give aid.
This is true. Failure to provide aid or prevention of aid being provided is both classic cases for manslaughter. Failure to provide aid is in and of itself, a cause of death and a sign of negligence.

So manslaughter?

At one point, the prosecution was arguing that Chauvin "should have known" that Floyd's heart stopped and the defense argued that it would be literally impossible to know that.
