i'm sure court will say he is not guilty as they always protect their own

Its back on TV.

to get a guilty verdict on any of the charges requires unanimous agreement of the jury. If the defence have done their work properly, they will have ensured that someone made it on to the jury that won't find him guilty

Derek Chauvin trial judge says 'abhorrent' comments by US congresswoman
Maxine Waters could jeopardise verdict

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/content/...eg?imwidth=960

A California congresswoman's comments about Derek Chauvin's murder trial
could have given the former officer grounds for an appeal, the judge in the
case said.

Judge Peter Cahill called Maxine Waters's comments "abhorrent" as he
exhorted elected officials to stop disrespecting "the rule of law".

Ms Waters joined protesters in the area over the weekend and suggested
they should "get more confrontational" if Mr Chauvin was acquitted.

The 45-year-old faces manslaughter and murder charges after pinning
George Floyd to the ground for more than nine minutes in a fatal arrest last
May.

As the jury began their deliberations on Monday afternoon, the defence mad
a last-minute request for a mistrial based on "intimidating" comments from
Ms Waters.


Defence lawyer Eric Nelson also argued the huge amount of news coverage
over the case meant it would have been impossible for jurors to avoid
consuming some of the press around the trial.


Judge Cahill rejected the motion for a mistrial, but told the defence:
"Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may
result in this whole trial being overturned".

Visibly irritated, he said: "I wish elected officials would stop talking about this
case, especially in a manner that is disrespectful to the rule of law... their
failure to do so is abhorrent."

But he added: "I don't think it has prejudiced us with additional material that
would prejudice this jury. They have been told not to watch the news. I trust
they are following those instructions."

Ms Waters, a Democrat, had joined protesters on Saturday outside
the Brooklyn Center Police headquarters, just 10 miles from where Mr Chauvin's trial is taking place.

Ms Waters told the crowd she wanted to see a murder conviction against Mr Chauvin.


When asked what should happen if the ex-officer is not convicted on
murder charges, she replied: "We gotta stay on the street, we've got to get
more active, we've got to get more confrontational, we've got to make sure
that they know that we mean business."

that woman is a complete nutter, it was her and her cronies that stopped Biden winning by a massive landslide

This is why Limited terms in government is a must, otherwise they spend their whole life there, and turn out like Gropey Joe and Mad Maxine

Jury Has Reached a Verdict.

Soon announced

eek, it could be mayhem there shortly then although the quick verdict probably means he is guilty of at least 1 charge

Whatever the verdict there is going to be trouble I would imagine

He has to be declared guilty, he was literally caught on camera in a 9 minute long video... If he isn't guilty on all counts than there is no justice.

the verdict will be around 9:30 our time. It can't have been a divided jury otherwise it would still be going on, so it's pretty safe to presume he will be found guilty of at least 1 charge

Verdict from Jury : Guilty of murder all 3 Guilty

Count 1
Count 2
Count 3


All Charges.

Sweet. :dance:

GuiltyYes !!!!!!!!!!!!

Guilty on all charges. Result :clap1:

6 to 8 weeks for Sentencing


All 3 Charges he is Guilty


Back to Jail

I saw the closing statement for the prosecution yesterday, correct result

He is faces atleast 40 years but they are hoping to add on extra years

Can someone explain how you can be guilty of two different types of murder AND a man slaughter

Justice served.

it's all a bit alien for me, but it seems like its based on thresholds. So if the most serious is proven, then the others are just proven by default. I like it in some respects, because in the UK, people have been clearly guilty of something, but the charge was too aggressive and they end up getting away with it, because the serious charge is not proven for whatever reason

Wonderful news. :clap1:

To right :dance: we all know this is the correct result for everyone.

He won't survive the month.

Justice served, won't bring him back but at least his family have some justice in his death.

Justice done definitely.

Total stitch up

As expected

Justice for George Floyd :clap1:

May he rot in there.

I’m sure this verdict is gonna make the racist, inhuman cretins over social media very upset, but accountability has been reached here, and about bloody time, I hope the **** rots in hell.

Accountability for Breonna Taylor next please.

A court of law LT, a court of law

Keep telling yourself that. :pat:

Amazing! Thank God.

Embarrassing

Guilty of all charges. Just breaking now.

:facepalm:

Justice is done.
Hopefully he will serve the rest of his life in jail.
Murdering bstd.:fist:

Guilty as charged....he was arrogant and his ego got in the way of acting humanely.
I thought it was disgraceful what Biden did though...he could have easily caused a re-trial.

So many lives ruined by this case. Not just the lives of Mr Floyd and Mr Chauvin. All those badly injured, killed and incarcerated in the aftermath.

There are winners though, the Political class, the media. They know how to turn a bad situation to their advantage.
