I guess I’m naive. I was honestly thinking Chauvin wouldn’t get anything worse than manslaughter because to prove murder would be impossible. But that was foolish of me
Jury riggers suck.
Yea. I honestly don’t get how he doesn’t appeal. I have a good friend who still thinks it was all a set up to foment riots.
It was.
I wouldn't be surprised if that option is being made as difficult and unappealing as possible for him. They would probably just lynch him if he got out anyways.
Good point
Zimmerman is still living under an assumed name with a team of guys that were hired to defend him by an anonymous benefactor, last I heard. If Chauvin got out, he'd either be dead or in hiding within a day, like the cop from the Michael Brown case.
He made some plea deal with the feds to not appeal in exchange for a limited sentence on the federal charges (which I think they agreed to a concurrent sentence the same length as the state sentence.)
Curtailing your legal rights under threat of further punishment.
3rd World Banana Republic doesn't even begin to cover that shit.
I never knew that. Thanks.
Even manslaughter would be a miscarriage of justice. Floyd died of severe heart disease exacerbated by the stress of trying to fight his way out of an arrest and the abuse of multiple illegal drugs known to cause cardiopulmonary failure. Had he not committed any one of his multiple crimes - the counterfeiting, the drug abuse or resisting arrest - he would still be alive.
Probably would have overdosed on fentanyl by now tbh
Agreed. I was just assuming that was the worst. I don’t believe that the drugs had nothing to do with his death. The city was scared of further rioting. I remember someone getting mad at me because when they said Ashli Babbit brought her death on herself I said then you can say the same for Floyd
