A couple things

A mistrial doesn't mean Chauvin goes free. He would still be subject to the same bail conditions and would be retried. The state isn't going to drop this.

2nd. The source has to be true.


I do think if it is true the state should go after that juror for perjury and that juror should serve time. If the story is true

It’s no guarantee he’d be convicted again.

He is still entitled to due process, and with a biased and lying juror due process was not served.

The evidence was overwhelming against Chauvin. Doesnt mean he got a fair trial.

It's not just one thing. There's that, there's the Maxine Waters quote, the failure to sequester the Jury, the photo of the Jurors taken, and so on... there was plenty of idiocy, but apparently pointing this out means that I want a killer to go free, even though I repeatedly stated that he should've been convicted of Manslaughter, which apparently means "desperately wanting a mistrial" according to Vass...

Because you have to tell the truth in Court, or remain silent, irrespective of whether or not the media's there.

And which situations would those be?


Perhaps something like the story from CBS, quoted below, although you might find it to be objective Vass: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pigs-in-a- ... es-police/

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Protesters in a Black Lives Matter march held outside the Minnesota State Fair over the weekend were captured on video yelling "pigs in a blanket, fry 'em like bacon," a statement that some law enforcement members viewed as targeting police officers. An organizer behind the march, however, is standing by the group's chant to fry police "like bacon," saying Monday that law enforcement officials are cherry-picking a 30-second chant to take issue with an otherwise peaceful protest.

But St. Paul Police Federation President Dave Titus told CBS Minnesota the chant, which took place during Saturday's four-hour march around the fairgrounds in St. Paul, was ignorant and disgusting. The group's protest came hours after a suburban Houston officer was gunned down.


Seems a tad biased there against cops Vass, wouldn't you agree?

How? Chauvin shouldn’t get a new trial were he could possibly get acquitted. I see no evidence of how this juror tainted the verdict.

A defendant is entitled to an unbiased Jury of his peers in the US. One juror being heavily biased is grounds for a mistrial.

You don't need to see that. All Chauvin's attorney has to prove is that the single juror went to a rally wearing a BLM t-shirt, and that BLM is heavily anti-cop, in order to show heavy bias on said juror's part, and there's the photo of him actually doing that:

[/quote]

See above. Also, everyone's owed a fair trial, even if they're as guilty as sin, or as guilty as Chauvin, irrespective of whether it's a waste of money or not. The government wastes plenty of money, rather heroically, on things like an upgrade of public transportation in San Francisco as workers are fleeing the city, and I'd be happy to discuss how to save money with you in another thread.

If you believe the juror was biased (which there is a very good chance they were, considering what they did and what this case was about), then everything they said about what the verdict should be comes from a position of being inherently biased against Chauvin, and any decision the rest of the jurors made that was influenced by this juror is potentially biased.

I want Chauvin to spend the rest of his life behind bars as much as the next guy, but if it turns out a juror was biased, that should at least be investigated or you're pretty much playing into the hands of the "the jury was biased against Chauvin" crowd.

I'm sure the time and money spent is worth it when it comes to making sure that Chauvin gets a just trial and thus a just conviction if it turns out that this juror is enough to declare a mistrial.

A just trial = 12 impartial jurors
12 impartial jurors = 12 impartial jurors
Ergo, 12 impartial jurors do NOT = 11 impartial jurors + 1 biased juror
