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

[DoNotReadTheFinePrint]

Shit was bad back in the Prohibition era, complete with a lot of media outlets being pro-mafia and a lot of idiots in the public thinking mobsters were actually heroes because it meant they could get their booze. It took a very long time for Al Capone to get convicted and in his and many other cases jurors and witnesses often ended up dead or missing under mysterious circumstances.

I forgot about the Prohibition, thank you for the info.
Anyway this means that they can put Chauvin either in prison and let him get murdered by some thugs (which I think is the likely outcome) or he'll be put into WPP and vanish.
All this trails has shown that the only court mattering is the one of public opinion.

I'm sensing a familiar sentiment here.

For some reason you guys seem convinced that the jury felt "intimidated" rather than pleased by these public displays of support from politicians, or even the chanting crowd. How can you be so certain? They sure didn't argue for very long.

He'll be put in protective custody. No way in hell they're going to let him in general population for one second.
If they do it for child molesters they'd better fucking do it for Chauvin.

I wonder how much doomposting is going to occur in this thread.

No doom posting just shit posting

 

[BiggerChungus]

Idon't think anyone except the most fucking retarded wignats actually wanted Chauvin to walk. The shit he did is clearly grounds for at least a few years of jail time.

You mean for restraining a drugged-out suspect who was resisting arrest?

 

[Elaine Benes]

And? Your point?

It can't be "time for secession," because secession can't legally happen. Even during the Civil War, the rebelling states legally remained part of the Union.

 

[Not Really Here]

You people need to calm the fuck down.

This was a fucking show-trial, there was no way in hell, even with a shit-ton of evidence, a great defense team, and enough reasonable doubt for thirty cases to be not guilty that it would go Chauvins way. This isn't the fucking end of civilization. This isn't the fucking death of America. This is in a shithole town called Minneapolis. Go outside and take a good look. Most of America is not Minneapolis. This was a lighting in a bottle situation. The jury was already fucked by the make-up and who was in it. Do you think the jurors would have gone any other way considering what happened, what could happen, and how it already was going?

Do what Floyd tried to, and take a breather. You are being purposely whipped into a frenzy. The people who wanted this outcome now can be all smug and satisfied, but god knows if this will actually mean anything legally. Half the thread is screaming appeals and cope, and no one is walking off and taking into account that for the majority of us, this whole shitshow doesn't affect our lives, and mean anything other than disappointment or disgust that it didn't go your way. I'm not happy about it, but I know why it happened.

Average of 500 new prosecution exhibits per day of trial.

I don’t understand how he was found guilty of “unintentional murder” in the second degree when that particular statute requires that the death occurred while the perpetrator was commuting a felony or while the perpetrator was restrained by an order of protection and the victim was a person designated to receive protection under this order.

what felony was Derek committing when he killed Floyd or what protection order was there?? I’m clearly missing something.

Felony assault. Essentially the jury believed that the protection of the badge for his actions went beyond the bounds of reasonable force at a point and thus became assault, felony level assault.

if i can't cope and i can't sneed, what else can a man do?

 

[4Macie]

The felony assault was holding him down too long.

Ah I see. That makes sense now. Thank you. That was the bit I was missing. I hadn’t watched the whole trial so I didn’t know the felony assault came into play. Though it makes sense... I also just assumed any assault charge went out the window because ... police. Ya know?

its not even possible anymore, if a state said "we leaving" the major USA would just bomb the shit out of em and be done with

 

[VelcroPocket]

Now the polices must wear silk gloves when handling a nigger. If the nigger wants to die when getting arrested, it doesn't matter if he ate an entire Mexican cartel production, it will be always the police fault.
Fuck niggers

If you're in an american city get the fuck out dont get cocky

lol okay let me hop on the next plane to Tokyo-oh wait I can't! Do you understand what's really going on now? The nexus between the virus and riots?

 

[AmazingEagle]

if i can't cope and i can't sneed, what else can a man do?

Masturbate.

 

[MrJokerRager]

I'm gonna say one thing which probably will be an unpopular opinion, Chauvin used terrible optics on kneeling on that drugged out monkey.

 

[aussiejinjo]

all our theorycrafting about the jury based on the little snippet descriptions of each member was for 0

this trial was over before opening statements even began

 

[Pizza Munch]

phew, I feel different than I thought I would. I thought I would be mad if he got guilty on all counts, but I kind of get it lol.

Watching Rekieta's stream cleared a couple things up for me:
He was found guilty on all counts because they thought he met all elements of all charges. Will be harder on appeal to get a clean sweep of all charges.
Guidelines of sentencing:

• Murder 2nd unintentional: assuming criminal history score of 0, 150 months the average (~10 years), could push him to 180-190 month range if considered aggravated
• Murder 3rd and manslaughter may get served concurrently. So just the longest charge will get served out.
• If you are convicted on multiple crimes at the same time, they will increase your criminal score even if you had no criminal history (score of 0)

The election was rigged and so were the courts. Fuck you and your calm.

For choking a dude lmao.

Let's not pretend he was an innocent angel here. It's like the cracka version of dindu nuffin.

 

[Tyrone the Biggest]

I wonder if he'll live long enough to appeal his sentence

He has 2 options for survival; get sequestered or join a white supremacist prison gang. If he didn't hate jiggaboos before he certainly will soon
