I read the definition of all three counts today. I believe what he did fits all 3 perfectly to a reasonable person. And the Jury made the decision pretty swiftly too
As someone who's been through this including feet away from buildings on fire I'm not feeling celebratory or elated.. I'm relieved and this verdict is more than I expected but right now I feel that all of this was so unnecessary if Chauvin had only done his job as his training and MPD procedure said he should..
This was an easy one. I really dont see how he would not be found guilty. The guy murdered in broad daylight while being recorded and with several witnesses on hand. Not only is he a vile person but he is also a dumbass.
I wasn’t talking to you. But since you chime in to defend your racist friend, I will say **** off to you too. Idiot.
Why are you engaging with such a loser like me? Go back to your amazing life and go **** your trophy wife with your 12% bf in your 6 bedroom home with your high 6 figure salary.
It's hard to feel bad for the guy. He brought it on himself. His arrogance and lack of common sense doomed him. You have to be smarter than he was on that particular day. Or, go to prison.
No one smirks with their eyes. He looked calm and collected and is looking forward to kneeing people in the prison.
I can't believe that some posters are questioning his guilty verdicts. Are you guys part of a white supremacist or something? Where is the human decency in you when you watch that video?
Funny thread, sniping at each other and news in-between. I'm interested to know the makeup of the jury. Who will be the first to get paid for an appearance. I can safely go home. We in Peace!
An easy call, and the correct one on all 3 counts. The video was damning, simple as that. Not just the knee on Floyd's neck and the bystanders, but also Chauvin's eyes and expression. Rot in hell, Chauvin. Hopefully the sentencing is harsh enough that he'll spend the rest of his life in prison.
I pleased with the verdict. I was cautiously optimistic but you never know with these kinds of things. Hopefully this is the start of lasting change.
