I have only been in Minnesota once in my life I don't know the state, someone from there could make a much better suggestion, I would probably rule out st.paul though.

It couldn't be held there. The trial would have to held in the same county as the DA who brought the indictment. I don't think you can try someone outside of the where the crime took place.

I also don't think other cities in Hennepin County have courthouses where a trial could take place. Courthouses are almost always in the county seat.

I don't know Minnesota law well enough to comment. In ny that would not be true.

This is in NBC, it's a pro-Dem station. Why the fuck would you want to take photos near the Jury Box? She claims ignorance, but that's fucking bullshit. During the initial introduction, the Judge asked the Jury to stay within the lines to avoid broadcast cameras. That means that said lines were fairly visible to anyone in the Courtroom. Why the fuck would you...

And the sad part is that even though this should have no bearing on the trial, since Chauvin is guilty as sin, now a Juror might claim that he or she was intimidated by that idiot, and there's a mistrial claim. Who let that idiot into the Courtroom?

Of fucking course some dumbass how to come along and just give the defense reason to try and go for a mistrial. Probably just really wanted some exclusives photos and had no self control.

Defense witness Barry Brodd (an ex-cop who now runs a company that consults on police practices and use of force) testifies that in his opinion "Derek Chauvin was justified, was acting with objective reasonableness and was following Minneapolis Police Department policies & current standard of law enforcement" in his interactions with Floyd

Brodd testifies that he thinks Chauvin did not use "deadly force."

Compares it to a domestic violence incident where a subject is tased, falls to the ground, and hits their head. Brodd says that's not deadly force, it's an accidental death.
(?????)
Brodd says Chauvin & officers were "valid" in not moving George Floyd from prone position to side recovery position (per MPD protocol) because of space limitations, street traffic, "crowd issues took the attention of the officers" and because Floyd "was still somewhat resisting"
(cross-ex)
On cross examination, the prosecutor gets defense witness Brodd to testify that the image of Chauvin with his knee on Floyd's neck "could be a use of force" because it "could produce pain."

He had earlier testified that he thinks the prone control is not a "use of force."

On cross examination, prosecutor gets defense witness Barry Brodd to testify that even if a bystander is doing something an officer finds threatening, irritating, or distracting, that does not justify use of force against someone else who has no control over the bystander

Cross: You would agree that use of force must remain reasonable throughout the entire time? Yes.
You would agree someone in your custody is in your care? Yes.
You would agree sanctity of life/protection of public cornerstones of MPD policy? Yes.


After Brodd said that Chauvin seemed to let up on the pressure... Schleicher showed this photo and played the clip -- "You see his foot off the ground? Wouldn't that put more pressure?"
Brodd said that the foot lifted at that point because of Floyd's movements.

Having seen the whole of the prosecution's case it looks like they've really botched this. Totally failed to prove Chauvin's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt before the defence even began their case. Not that I'm really surprised, they're trying to prove something that never happened, it was always going to be a challenge.

Quite a lot has been proven actually:

Senior members of the department have testified his actions were not part of their training and that they were largely unnecessary. Eyewitness including a firefighter have also testified demonstrating how poorly Floyd was being handled. Then of course you have a medical examiner saying while drugs and heart disease contributed to Floyd's death it was not the main cause. That was also preceded by three medical professionals all saying the cause of death was the neck restraint.

Cause the prosecution has proven quite a bit.

Yeah I laughed at that earlier. I mean how fucked up do you have to be to suggest that struggling to try and breathe because of the actions of somebody restraing you is valid grounds to keep stopping somebody from being able to breathe.

Things we learnt today.

1) Somebody watching you do your job is valid grounds to kill somebody that has no control over the people watching the incident.

2) It isn't reasonable when unable to breathe to try and get to a position where you can breathe. What you should do is just carmly stay not being able to breathe. Because obviously when you stop moving the force will cease to be applied to you, it won't continue for 3 minutes after you have ceased to move.

3) The defence actually for some strange reason proved it was possible to deal with a non-compliant and agitated Gorge Floyd without killing him.
