aceluby Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Chauvin verdict will be in at 3:30 CST today. I was just in Uptown and they are really prepared for the worst. Everything is boarded up and the only thing open is McDonalds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fragile Bird Posted April 20, 2021 Author Share Posted April 20, 2021 Nice of the judge to wait until the markets are closed. I’m expecting conviction in the manslaughter charge. But it has been pretty fast, maybe they’ll acquit. Don’t think so, but also the reason I don’t think they’ll convict on the two more serious charges.

Maithanet Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I will optimistically predict that he is found guilty of murder 3. From what I've read there are some legal hurdles to clear to get to murder 2 that aren't a great fit for this case, so murder 3 is probably the best we can hope for.

My employer just sent anyone who was in the office or in the field home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me optimistically the manslaughter charge. Realistically I expect a full on aquital for all charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: Speaking as a human being, what a great relief! This verdict is not going to cure the numerous problems of U. S. (and other places') policing, but it is a small yet very significant step in the right direction. It signals to "the bad apples" that there IS a limit to what you can get away with. That's a (much needed) start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I wasn't expecting this. I really wasn't. So far, outside it's quiet. No helicopters. Yet. Maybe the cops are getting ready to riot? Though I have come in from a long afternoon out, and I was surprised on my way hone that I didn't see cops anywhere or cop cars or anything. Maybe they knew ahead of time?

Kalbear Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Unfortunately because of a few factors this will almost certainly be appealed and retried. But at least they got it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalbear Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Just now, Ser Scot A Ellison said: Appeals of jury verdicts are very long rows to hoe. Sure, but they usually don't have major political figures the night before in that town talking about things, either. Maxine Waters was totally right, and also was pretty stupid to do that right now.

The so-called Bad Apples must be feeling very deflated right now. I bet they were hoping to bash in some skulls tonight, based on their re-affirmed immunity, and now instead everyone in the streets is celebrating... What a bummer!
