I agree. I think it will end in a hung jury, followed immediately by Chauvin's arrest by AG Merrick Garland for civil rights violations, or some other such bullshit.

Agree on the hung jury. A conviction or "not guilty" takes a unanimous agreement. There's no way in America, even in a city as liberal as MSP, that you get that many people to agree on this case. There will be 1 or 2 holdouts.

That's why there are two ultra leftist white women as alternate jurors. When jury tensions rise because the two white dudes refuse to convict, the rest of the jury will declare them white supremacists and doxx them to the public. At that point, both white men will leave the jury for safety reasons, and the radical leftist white women alternates will join and convict.

Not all black people support BLM. Many of them live in the neighborhoods that BLM burns to the ground. Blacks in those neighborhoods will be very aware of the destructive force of drugs. I think it is possible for a black person on this jury to vote to acquit.

I have no idea what will happen but I don't think any outcome will surprise me.
