FInal Arguements are on Monday and then the jury deliberates. I don't expect it to take long. Monday will be a big day.

I heard that half the jury are blacks. I realize that most blacks don't hate police, but far more of them in Minneapolis do than elsewhere. It's hard to say, but having been on many juries in my life, big cities are filled with idiots who can't think their way out of a paper bag, so anything can happen.

Hung jury most likely but they’re going to riot no matter what. A celebration riot might be slightly less damaging but not much.

More likely this will occur. Hung jury / mistrial. Even if they get him on manslaughter by following the actual police training, the sentence will be up in the air. If he isnt convicted for murder with death penalty, the savages will burn everything down because, well, they are savages who will never be satisfied. Time to use live ammo and end this constant cycle of terrorism in this country. BLM & ANTIFA should be eliminated from society.

Yep, if the jury has any sense they will grant the lowest calibre charge, and punt the rest back to the DA.

Trouble is, my experience of jury service leads me to think common sense is a rare commodity in the seclusion of the jury room.

No death penalty in Minnesota.

They'll never do that because most of BLM/ANTIFA out there are middle-class whites whom the police and nat'l guard won't fire upon.

Are you on the jury?

Wasn’t on his neck. Followed training protocol. Floyd likely dies no matter what Chauvin did. He’s actually entirely innocent but doubtful he will be acquitted since the jury is half black and not sequestered.

One of the black jurors is a male who dislikes BLM apparently based on the Yahoo article

I would bet a lot of blacks are fed up with BLM being co-opted to make blacks look bad. It's quite obvious that it's used as a divide and conquer tactic at this point.

Obvious to us. Not to progressives.

Among other things Black Lives Matter was founded to cover up one of Obama's many scandals, stealing people's land with the Bureau of Land Management. BLM was blowing up on the internet with research detailing their crimes, and then lo and behold all of the sudden searching BLM gets nothing but the commie group pushing lies about oppression or whatever.

I wouldn't bag on the black jurors. They might be BLM psychos, but the same could be true of the white jurors.

We'll see if any of them have conviction because from what I saw as a casual observer the state did not prove any of the homicide charges beyond a reasonable doubt.

Honestly it’s more likely the whites are more BLM friendly. I live here.

The smartass in me has to say that 'I live here' too. But I'm in CO. Good luck though!

We need to start a campaign encouraging BLM-sympathizing white leftists to kill themselves to "make room for POC". Get the trash to take itself out.

Then let's look for one intelligent person that has the morals needed to stand for what is right. With the strength of their convictions.

Can't have the black on black crime model without 6 black jurors on the panel that voted for an acquittal.

jurys should definitely have to represent the demographics of the area in which the crime occurred. fuck this racist bullshit with packing it with blacks.

That would be, dare I say..... equity!

I think the jury will take their time, lap up some free triple star hotel food for a day or two. I expect things to kick off Wednesday, earliest.

This is the last weekend before the race war officially starts, is my feeling. They're going to use this to kick it off - they've been drooling for this moment for a while.

I have a feeling it’ll take them a couple days to reach a decision. I suspect they’ll quickly be able to rule out murder two and probably spend more time deliberating on the lesser of two charges.

In the end, if they do manage to get a conviction, which I think is fairly unlikely the only thing that they may get to stick is the manslaughter charge.
