Trial of Derek Chauvin: A Juror Supported What?!

[Austreylia]

Killing someone intentionally is murder you know.

Thats not what Officer Chauvin did.

[Dejado Atras]

Because he didn't commit murder.

Killing someone intentionally is murder you know.

First degree murder.

Second-degree murder is defined as murder that is not premeditated, or murder that is caused by the offender's reckless conduct that displays an obvious lack of concern for human life. Third degree is manslaughter, the crime of killing a human being without malice aforethought, or otherwise in circumstances not amounting to murder.

There’s no proof Chauvin intentionally killed Floyd be it premeditated or in the heat of the moment.

From what I heard third degree was the ultimate likelihood though you had second degree being tossed around.

[Xmara]

Regardless of the verdict, this trial is gonna be remembered as the trial of the century.

You can argue about intent, but he did kill someone.

Thats not what Officer Chauvin did.

It's exactly what he did.

Chauvin may have not intended to kill Floyd, but he still acted with reckless disregard for human life and that is still considered a crime.

Not exactly, but close enough (Killing someone intentionally is first degree murder. Chauvin committed second-degree murder).

I never said it was not. I just wish people would get their narratives and legal terminology straight.

[Xmara]

Not exactly, but close enough (Killing someone intentionally is first degree murder. Chauvin committed second-degree murder).

The charges levied against him are second degree murder, third degree murder, and second degree manslaughter. I personally think that third degree murder is what he should be convicted of. What he did fits Minnesota's definition of third degree murder.

Regardless of the verdict, this trial is gonna be remembered as the trial of the century.

Not really. We've had several trials this century alone that generated more publicity than this one.

Unless the outcome is so lopsided (causing a very very bad outcome), I don't see that as being the case.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Jury reached a verdict. I hope it’s to convict Chauvin.

[Austreylia]

Unless the outcome is so lopsided (causing a very very bad outcome), I don't see that as being the case.

There's going to be a very, very bad outcome regardless of what verdict is reached.

BLM and their "allies" will riot about literally anything.

[Heloin]

Not exactly, but close enough (Killing someone intentionally is first degree murder. Chauvin committed second-degree murder).

Intentional killing is murder. Murder in the first degree needs to be premeditated.

[Major-Tom]

There's going to be a very, very bad outcome regardless of what verdict is reached.

BLM and their "allies" will riot about literally anything.

I too remember when millions of people who protested over the summer all simultaneously rioted.

*yawns*

[The New California Republic]

Jury reached a verdict. I hope it’s to convict Chauvin.

The speed at which they reached a verdict makes it seem like the jury considers it an open and shut case, and on balance of probabilities it's more likely that means they have found him guilty.

You're blowing that dogwhistle WAY too hard. Everyone can hear it.

Seems this way to me. But maybe it's because this is the first one I've really payed attention to (outside of Trump's impeachment trials).

Yeah. The speed in which concensus was reached tends to favor the prosecution.

[South Americanastan]

Not exactly, but close enough (Killing someone intentionally is first degree murder. Chauvin committed second-degree murder).

Intentional killing is murder. Murder in the first degree needs to be premeditated.

Murder is also accidental killing with obvious disregard towards human life

*yawns*

Duh.

[Galloism]

I would like to point out that however this comes out, there's something to consider:

A jury of 6 white people, 4 black people, and 2 multi racial people, 5 of them men and 7 of them women, will decide the fate of Derek Chauvin. And they came to a unanimous decision in about a day.

This indicates that matters were clear to the jury that, whatever the result, this was the right one - regardless of the jurors race or sex.

Yes, because rioting about wanting to stop police violence against minorities is "rioting about everything"

[Xmara]

Yeah. The speed in which concensus was reached tends to favor the prosecution.

I don't see how they could possibly acquit him at this point.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Yeah. The speed in which concensus was reached tends to favor the prosecution.

I don't see how they could possibly acquit him at this point.

Never say never but the quick verdict seems to indicate Chauvin is toast.
