Looks Like The Derek Chauvin Case Might Be Headed For A Mistrial

You guy's should've put Rip Chudd on the jury. He would've found Chauvin "Not Guilty" for you, then no one could say it was racism, right?

True to the bolded part of your reply. The problem though is that based on *** rhetoric it does give the appearance of Bias.

Logic doesn’t apply to biased ppl... Give him a fair trial and hang him...


do you think war criminals globally ever get a fair trial?

More unarmed whites are killed than blacks by cops in America. There is no systemic racism in America, especially in the police force which consists of 15% of Black Americans (more than the population percentage) FACTS: If Chauvin was black you wouldn't know who George Floyd was.

Floyd died because of his health and being doped up on fentanyl, not a knee on his neck.

The guy in the picture lied during the juror application. That picture was taken during a Floyd rally. He said he'd never been to any rallies and even was quoted saying, "If we want to make a change we need to get out into these rooms." Another juror admitted she was very scared that people would show up at her house. She was delayed coming home because of another protest as well.

Chauvin should have definitely been found guilty of manslaughter. The premise that he intended to murder Floyd is beyond any stretch of imagination and is complete activism. If Floyd just sat in the cruiser and went downtown, what would have happened? You're saying because Floyd resisted arrest for so long, flopped out of the other side of the vehicle, that Chauvin was just pissed off and wanted him dead at that point?

Black Lives Matter is a ********* organization. Change my mind...

Here is what I don't understand... When reading through the selected jurists, most all of them had proclivities, a bias... Why would they have been selected? I just figure If I am the defense lawyer I would want to not have those jurists picked.

Also, if one reads up on Minnesota law, it appears that Chauvin will be sentenced to the worse charge and not concurrently, and as a first offender will normatively get 12 years when considering all the "add ups"... meaning he could be out in 8 years, or so, unless I am missing something.

He released a statement saying he was very honest during jury selection about his thoughts on the case (wondered why the other police didn't stop Chauvin) and *** (that he was very favorable toward it). Also said he was neutral regarding Blue Lives Matter, and that he thought the police that attended his gym were "good guys."

He said he was at an event regarding MLK's I Have a Dream speech in D.C., but not specifically about George Floyd. Apparently, all of the questions asked during jury selection was regarding events focused on police brutality. Seems to me that they should look into the event to verify.

From what I can find, the event included the topic of police brutality. I think he should have definitely mentioned this during the jury selection process, but he may have indeed answered the questions fairly. Here's a good article on it specifically.




Here's a description of the event:




So here are the pertinent questions asked according to the article:

Two questions on the questionnaire sent out before the jury was selected asked about participation in demonstrations. Mr Mitchell said he answered “no” to both of the questions.

The first question about demonstrations was: “Did you, or someone close to you, participate in any of the demonstrations or marches against police brutality that took place in Minneapolis after George Floyd’s death?”


--Well...I guess he wasn't in Minneapolis, since it was in D.C. So he won't be on the hook for this one.


The second question asked: “Other than what you have already described above, have you, or anyone close to you, participated in protests about police use of force or police brutality?”


--I guess he's going to say the event wasn't a protest, but a march regarding a plethora of topics.

The bolded: It jibes with what I read about the Jurists selected. It frankly suprised me that so many of the jury picked had similar sentiments.

He apparently said he attended the MLK rally in Washington. The defense and prosecution would have to be living on Mars not to know what was going on at the rally. The both accepted him as a juror. No grounds for a mistrial.

Thats not what I am addressing. When you read what the selected Jurists responses were to the questions, they seemed the type of jurist the defense would try to eliminate as a potential jurist. Not taking a stand on guilt/innocence, or mistrial... it just suprised me because it seemed chauvin's lawyer would have tried to get other jurists.
