Trial of Derek Chauvin: A Juror Supported What?!

[Shofercia]

MPD officer Nicole Mackenzie, who provides medical aid training to officers, testifies that if officers are unable to find a pulse, they are trained to start CPR immediately

Maybe Derek Chauvin skipped the lesson on the importance of pulse like Anakin Skywalker skipped the lesson on the high ground?

But yeah, that pulse thing is important and it's a bit sad that the prosecution has to point it out.

Someone defending Chauvin, blindly or not, would be rare.

Oh they are out there. Just not openly vocal about it. An in-law is rabid pro police. She is a 911 dispatcher and hangs out at social media sites where the police hang out. Her significant other died in the line of duty. (just an idea how she is aligned).

Even she admitted what Chauvin did was wrong. She also said she couldn’t say that online.....

Police officers are scared to call out abuses by other police officers. Saying it online would invite harassment and put her career and safety in danger.

Ah, a 'no u'. Truly, a marvel of an argument.

So, are you gonna take me up on my suggestion or are you going to continue spouting lies so blatant literally anyone with access to the internet could disprove with one Google search?

Are you going to continue making statements that show a lack of basic medical knowledge and can be disproved by anyone who with access to google?

It is you who appears to be lacking knowledge. And something tells me you are making your arguments in bad faith. I haven't seen anyone so feverishly defend Chauvin as having done no wrong without some racial or elitist agenda behind it.

“Wait, we have to help people? Then why’d you spent the past decades turning us into almost our own military?”

If the defense had their way, lying on the ground being handcuffed would be categorized as “active aggression”

Yesterday, The defense was cross examing the training expert. I heard the snippet on the news.

Q. Do you teach knee on the neck
A. No
Q. But are their situations where a knee on the neck is appropriate?
A. well, yes.
Q. Like when trying to restrain a Suspect?
A. Yes
Q. When waiting for additional needed police support?
A. Yes
Q. When waiting for EMS
A. ... no, not that one.

I admit it, I laughed.

Defense replays a portion of police body cam footage, ask use-of-force expert (LAPD Sgt. Jody Stiger) if he could hear GeorgeFloyd saying, “I ate too many drugs.”

I imagine Chauvin putting his hands on his face and muttering "oh no I'm fucking screwed."

They could be legal geniuses and I don't think they'd have a much better case than what they're trying here.

When you're explicitly caught on video kneeling on someone's neck for several minutes (which if the witnesses are anything to go by was not what you're supposed to do) until they die, your legal team is gonna have a pretty hard time getting you out of the charges thrown your way from the defence alone unless the prosecution are morons.

Stiger said he could not hear it

It may have backfired-the Prosecution played a longer clip of the video and BCA Agent Reyerson testifies that he actually heard Floyd saying "I ain't do no drugs" NOT "I ate too many drugs.

As all pendants know,, A double negative is a positive. So he was admitting it. Which i guess is a license to kill in Minnesota or something like that.

I doubt it'll backfire altogether given we know Floyd had likely taken a speed ball (meth and fentanyl), but it's definitely not going to get Chauvin off either. I have no idea why they'd even waste the court's time with this unless they're just tossing stuff at the wall to see what sticks.

not what i mean
getting caught trying to mislead the jury with deceptive editing will do nothing but make them raise their bar for your evidence
juries are (unfortunately?) human, and we tend to become more skeptical when someone gets caught trying to manipulate us
no way it'd be the deciding bit at all-it just makes their job that much harder

You never know what appeals to just one juror, but that is all it takes

Chauvin is a grammar Nazi?

Plot twist!

I mean he's still going for jail for Homicide, and most likely Murder Three, but it's a plot twist. More of a Riann Johnson plot twist than a classic Jaws movie plot twist, but it's there. Ok, it's probably not a plot twist after all.

Why? I get why you laughed, but why would his lawyer ask that? I'd expect that from an SNL parody with Dave Chappelle.
