Predict the sentence for Derek Chauvin (poll)

[OsO]

The system wants to set him free because he's a white cop.

Too much public pressure though, so I'll say 2-5 years. He does 18 months max. Politics as usual

i've been wrong before, but i'm going with "no time"....

IF they convict (and that's a big if) probably some BS like 5 years.

Personally I think there's at least one MAGA juror that won't vote guilty so it ends in a mistrial.

 

[hashmander]

no time or mistrial.

It’s liberal Minnesota, he will be found guilty.

 

[mastermind]

I can see a mistrial

There are racist cacs everywhere and Minnesota ain't that liberal. No matter even if it was the northeast or west coast i'd say no time.. cacs don't value that man's life

 

[DoubleClutch]

If he gets no time it’s a deliberate move to cause mass riots/protests and more TV and media coverage for money and ratings

I can’t see anyone honestly not thinking he deserves some time

either way his life is over so....

Case is so cut and dried and the # of witnesses against him including cops from his own department was crazy. In other cases they always gave the cop an out but there's no out here. Even the hardcore Trumper types don't want him to get off cause that would prove the liberal narrative correct. You'd have to be a really hardcore racist to acquit. At most there will be 1-2 of those....so if not a conviction then it's a hung jury with 2 voting against conviction at most.

Sentence....I voted 10+ cause I think that doctor testifying that he stayed on the neck for 3+ minutes after the final breath is the big blow. That and all the constant pleas. But I can see where they end up giving a light sentence too. I'll be shocked if it's under 3 years...but it's possible.

 

[Regular_P]

I voted 10-24 years. This is the first time I've felt a cop was actually going to get punished for murder. (He should get life)

 

[Cloutius Maximus]

10 years

 

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

Damn, alot of yall really have faith in the judicial system. The majority votes say 10-24 yrs.

I just can't see a police officer getting that long of a sentence, even if to my surprise he gets convicted.

I think it'll be a hung jury or a conviction on the manslaughter charge, which would net him around 4 yrs. I'd be utterly shocked if they convict him of murder.

Hopefully they tear some shyt up if that ends up happening

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Don't they already have an all lives matter juror on there? I have little faith all 12 are non maga/blue lives loyal.

I sure hope I am wrong. More than anything.

What do you mean by "the system"? His superiors were witnesses for the prosecution.
