Did you see, say, Eric Holder or someone equivalent stepping forward to be the defense attorney for Chauvin? Because that type of thing would have been needed to be the equivalent of Adams - who was already strongly pro-American and anti-British at the time - stepping forward to defend the British soldiers. Adams says he did it specifically to ensure that they did receive a fair trial, rather than mob violence, and said that if they essentially got lynched it would have been the equivalent of the Salem Witch Hunts.
The trial transcripts were explicitly made public to ensure everyone got the full story. What we can see here is media organizations intentionally trying to make sure people don't get the full story.
And, even though you disagree with the trial results, 6 acquittals and 2 manslaughter charges is a lot less than plenty of anti-British people wanted. And yet, no riots or anything afterwards. Regardless of the outcome of Chauvin's trial, I'd put down money that there's going to be riots afterwards.
They want to ensure that there are massive riots when he is acquitted, so that no future jury will dare to acquit even when there is no evidence.
America went from the Boston Massacre trial to this in 250 years, sufficient to disprove Darwin in the words of Henry James.
Eh, maybe things don't really change. A well placed rock can kill. No British soldier should have been convicted of manslaughter. Change my mind.
No, things have changed.
