The Derek Chauvin Trial Thread (Guilty on all charges!!) 4/20

[KING WILL]

“If you can talk, you can breathe”. Is actually a part of their training

It is, but it was shown to be false.

 

[mattw1313]

The defense is really going hard with the drug asphyxiation argument (as expected).
But its so weak since he was perfectly mobile prior to being killed.

and they're gonna go harder.

what it really is, is giving any jurors who want to acquit or argue for the lesser charges a reason to do so, and an argument to take back to the jury room

I know I said earlier that everyone has the right to an attorney and someone had to be the one to defend him, but that cac lawyer is gonna have to answer for disturbing this dead breh's memory like this, and for what he's gonna do in closing, and essentially blame the breh Donald and say the hostile crowd justified the continued force

That last sequence with the last witness from the MPD was hilarious.

The prosecution and defence had already asked the bulk of their questions to the witness and then the defence guy comes up one more time and says "if bystanders are saying they'll slap you, call you p*ssy etc., could that elicit a certain type of reaction in the moment from an officer". Witness says yes. Defence guy says "no more questions, your honour" and walks off smugly.

Then the prosecution guy comes up and says, "but if bystanders are trying to alert an officer to wrongful/unlawful practices, should the officer not potentially reconsider his techniques and consider in that moment if he's doing something right or wrong?". Witness says yes. Prosecution guy says "no more questions".

Non-verbatim btw but that was the gist of their questions...

"slap the fukk out of you" gets me every time

salute to the breh Donald

Defense keeps on bringing up a hostile environment.
Prosecutors need to bring up the Asian man putting his hands in people. The two cops that were on George Floyd’s legs should have been directing traffic, if the cops thought that traffic was a threat!!!!!
GTFOH

 

[PortCityProphet]

The defense has 0 case.
This basically boils down to how racist is the jury

pretty much

 

[Robo Squirrel]

The defense is trying to make up shyt.

The entire case is THE CROWD TELLING HIM TO GET OFF OF HIS NECK IS WHY HE DID IT
HE COULDN'T CONCENTRATE

You can't be serious. His lawyer even knows he doesn't have a case.

 

[NYChase718]

The defense comes up wit shyt to say just to say cuz he has nothing such as "but if he stopped restraining the person could still get violent"
Floyd was never aggressive from the get go

Speaking up for yourself as a black man is seen as aggressive.

Nah he kept making up physical scenarios
That a person in cuffs can still kick you spit at you or bite you once they stand up
Trying to justify it .none of it goes to the situation floyd was never being physical from the start

There’s no way they won’t convict him. Not because it’s the morally right thing to do, there’s just too much at stake to allow a riot of that potential magnitude.

Of course I want the book thrown at him but I wouldn’t be mad if he’s found not guilty because if this doesn’t wake black people up, nothing else will. The whole system needs to burn, and if a not guilty verdict is the catalyst needed, George Floyd’s murder won’t be in vain.

Nah, you wishing for something you have no idea about. Plus, you will not be out in them streets “burning the whole system down.” You would be locked up in the house scared.

 

[I AM WE ARE]

So they really trying paint this man as a drug addict that caused his own death

 

[calixprynce]

let me go ahead and book my flight to MSP later on this month
