Derek Chauvin trial

Shocking to re-watch the video that was taken where he's lying down w/knee on his neck saying he couldn't breath. The bystanders were there asking for them to let him up .... he wasn't moving at all for 5 minutes. I believe he died right there. Police called an ambulance to come take him away at that point where he was no longer breathing.

The hospital announced his time of death after 9PM according to the press release. I thought he died at the scene.

You couldn't pay me a whole year's salary to sit on that jury, I would decline

May God bless those Jurors that will be paid like 10 bucks a day

Especially if they come back with anything less than the maximum sentence. Their lives will be ruined.

If that was my buddy, Cederic, under that cops' knee, I would have been arrested because I don't think I could have stood by and not intervened.

The defense attorney literally just blamed it on them. Saying that the bystanders "distracted officers from helping" Floyd with their comments 🙄

There is nothing good going to come out of this trial. The more sensationalized, polarized, and emotionalized these high profile trials the less confidence anything positive will come.

I would be shocked if the officer is found guilty

There is more than enough to provide doubt given he followed protocol(of which is a disagreeable procedure but not on Chauvin). There is a gray area on the recovery position, which is suggested twice but Chauvin ignored. It depends on the purpose of recovery position in the book because of its to place in the car then its understand why he wasn't rolled over yet. It's a tough case given the scene prior to going to the ground which seemed it was handled well by the officers. I agree with you on not being on this jury. That'd be an awful experience.

Is this on TV anywhere? How long are they expecting it to go?

My guess is that they'll convict him of something but it'll get overturned on appeal. In the end he'll serve very little jailtime. He did exactly as his training told him

I heard his lungs weighed 3x what a normal lung should weigh.

That would be interesting if true. If that is the case it would be very hard for a ME to explain away if they ruled the knee caused death and not overdose.

Excellent point. The officer could be following SOP with that move for that amount of time and thus be found innocent. But that procedure needs drastic attention. I mean, once the person is subdued and cuffed there should be no need to maintain that "hold" on them.
