There's no way they're going to convict him. Do you think it will be like the summer? National Guard in major cities?
What should or will be the reaction when Chauvin is acquitted?

If they know what's good for them, he betta be convicted for some charge.
He's gotta get manslaughter minimum and do time.
I don't think they'll convict him on the murder charges, esp the 2nd degree. Best bet is the 3rd degree murder and at worst the 2nd degree manslaughter.
We're getting manslaughter at best.

This is really the moment. If they let this guy slide America as a unified country anytime soon is over.
We don't need the murals, hashtags, renaming of buildings and all the corporate Black Lives Matter support. We need justice and that's convicting this guy, sentencing to a long jail term. Anything less is a major slap in the face and the trust/belief in America is gone. Experiment over.

He'll get 5 to 8 and do 1 to 2.
He already tried to cop a plea that included jail time. I'd be surprised if he were acquitted of all charges.
If third degree murder is affrd its almost guaranteed he'd be convicted of either of the lesser two.
His attorney is already talking about appeals.

If this cocksucka gets acquitted, Biden is really going to need that infrastructure bill ASAP.
It basically comes down to jury selection.
Should be an easy conviction but you only need one MAGA juror to cause a mistrial..
He was apparently willing to plead to a 10 year sentence, to be served in federal prison, but plead to a third degree murder charge, at the state level. Part of the plea required Barr so sign off on the deal, and he refused, allegedly taking issue with the clause that stated the US Attorney's Office wouldn't pursue more charges. Here's the article, I may be off on a few details. I think that would have been an ideal resolution, the trial will be a mess for prosecutors, especially at the state level. It's already off to a rocky start. There's enough known about Barr to question his motives here. Or he maybe was thinking of serving his second term and filing high profile civil rights violations charges.
Why William Barr Rejected a Plea Deal in the George Floyd Killing
As soldiers prepared to take to the streets, the officer, Derek Chauvin, believed that the case against him was so devastating that he agreed to plead guilty to third-degree murder. As part of the deal, officials now say, he was willing to go to prison for more than 10 years. Local officials, scrambling to end the community’s swelling anger, scheduled a news conference to announce the deal.
But at the last minute, according to new details laid out by three law enforcement officials, the deal fell apart after William P. Barr, the attorney general at the time, rejected the arrangement. The deal was contingent on the federal government’s approval because Mr. Chauvin, who had asked to serve his time in a federal prison, wanted assurance he would not face federal civil rights charges.
An official said Mr. Barr worried that a plea deal, so early in the process and before a full investigation had concluded, would be perceived as too lenient by the growing number of protesters across America. At the same time, Mr. Barr wanted to allow state officials, who were about to take over the case from the county prosecutor who has had tense relations with Minneapolis’s Black community, to make their own decisions about how to proceed.

Wow, I vaguely remember this but definitely didn't realize he was willing to take that deal.

I assume they'll do a retrial in the event of a mistrial
