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.
Federal “hate crime” laws shouldn’t even be a thing. Except for a very narrow band of laws, criminal prosecutions should be left to the states.
I never knew that. Thanks.
