How about Not Guilty. If I were on the jury, I would not vote to convict him at all.

sure enough. But that isn't the reason you charge someone if you are a prosecutor. If you didn't want to convict the guy in the first place, you shouldn't have charged him. This is proof they want the chaos of an acquittal for show. They aren't even giving a good faith effort to win here. Not that there is a crime per se to convict on. But if you don't even try with the cards you got, you have ulterior motives.

Personally, I think you won’t find him guilty of manslaughter or assault. What you could get him on is improper conduct. Him and the other officers did not get Floyd into the resting position. I think the jury might prosecute him very lightly because they don’t want riots and so they can’t let him go free, but they don’t want to put an innocent man in jail for something he didn’t do.

In all regards, trying to have the jury dismiss the autopsy, is likely to come back to bite the prosecution in the long run.

I wouldn't find him guilty of anything. I'd let him walk, especially now. Not guilty. I would not change my position.

I don’t want him guilty for things he did not do beyond a reasonable doubt. So long as a reasonable doubt exists, I cannot find him guilty on that stuff. And right now, a lot of reasonable doubt exists for me personally, so I can’t find him guilty.

Even the improper conduct charge is something to be said, as the ambulance arrived when Chauvin was supposed to do the recovery position. An ambulance that he and the other officers called for, btw.

You still want to play the rules. Why? They are not. There are no rules. Only victory and power. Once you realize that, you will understand. If you don't think that way, the other side does, and they will win. In fact, they have already won in every single way because they think that way.
