I've had the george floyd trial on between mtgs. The judge seems to be very good at keeping the witnesses between the guardrails. Glad they're broadcasting this.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

Are people still watching the trial? I’ve only been following the news and headlines. From those, it looks like all of the senior MPD officers are have found the ink blot in the Thin Blue Line and it was Chauvin."The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984

His defense is fine from what I have read. He doesn't have much to work with so all he can do is go after credibility and "being a cop is hard". That won't play well but he has to try.
Chauvin is gonna go down hard unless the jury is asleep."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

It sounds like the entire defense is going to depend upon the medical testimony as to whether the lack of oxygen to the brain was triggered by Chauvin's actions or the drugs in Floyd's system, and what can the defense get the jury to believe.Originally posted by Handyman View Post
I think a more interesting question will be answered later, when we see whether the cops that have testified against Chauvin are willing to also do so against the other three.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.Comment

I mean the lawyer has to try. He can't just stand up and say "yeah...he did it lock him up!".
I honestly think as soon as Chauvin is convicted you will see the other three plead out..."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

After watching Law & Order on repeat for what seems like ever, my question to the defense attorney would be "Let's say he had drugs in his system (or whatever nonsense he was saying caused his death), why didn't you help him to ensure he would go to trial and rot in jail?" Isn't that depraved indifference? Even if Floyd was guilty and a drug addict, Chauvin and his merry band of idiots did NOTHING to help him.Comment

Who would call O.J.'s defense counsel incompetent? They did not have the facts to win that case, but they won anyway, never mind how.Originally posted by Kepler View Post
Or were they referring to O.J.'s prosecutors?

The lawyers I know say the OJ trial is a spectacular example of a resistible force meeting a moveable object. He walked because there was only one Prosecution team that could be more incompetent than his Defense, but he fell into it.Originally posted by burd View Post

I dont think I have ever met a lawyer who would say that. They might say his team were a bunch of jerks but they created reasonable doubt out of thin air. I mean most White People don't get a defense that works that well...
