i'm surprised there's no sticky thread for each day's trial. Unless they get murder 2 to stick there will be riots.
I find murder 3 very unlikely to stick, but I do think Manslaughter is plausible. Simply because Chauvin' was still holding Floyd down for like a minute after he went limp despite his partners asking multiple times if they should roll him over into recovery. My understanding is the neck hold was ok per department policy, but department policy you are supposed to roll the perp over into recovery position after you have control of them. This is where I think manslaughter is a possible outcome.
Despite the fact that Floyd was high as a kite and probably OD'ed there's a hypothetical scenario that's pretty common in law school: If george floyd jumps of of the 50th story of a building to commit suicide, but someone shoots him as he passes the 25th floor, was George Floyd murdered even though he was already in free fall?
Because protocol wasn't followed to a T, there is an argument to get Chauvin on manslaughter.
