why do twitter videos never work
guess we'll see if the people days ago saying they'd find him guilty then after a bit when the mob dies down, appeal and free him are bling hopeful fools or not
"sacrificing your life for justice"
also I saw that video, god I hate Pelosi
or murdered
in minecraft with a real gun
it's a really weird situation, we'll wait to see what sentencing is like
but there's no way they don't appeal this farce
and drag this out for forever
she won't. safe cali district
also didn't some journo dox all the jury
I just don't see how you can get to 2nd degree murder
that's what I can't get over
with the jurors living in areas where there's riots and national level politicians demanding a guilty or else. yeah no. It didnt matter that the prosecution was incompetent
other charges, fine, debate to be had there
but 2nd degree is just absurd
is 2nd degree premeditated
I forget
in a fair trail, manslaughter was a maybe. the rest no. But the jury was afraid
An unplanned, intentional killing (reacting in the heat of the moment when angry)
A death caused by a reckless disregard for human lifealso he's a felon now
He recklessly disregarded the fact that floyd was on fentanol
versus
unplanned, unintentional killing that is not part of another felonyThey can only really argue 2nd if they also argue that pinning suspects is illegal
because otherwise it was not reckless it was following procedure
yeah I really thought he'd get manslaughter
and nothing else
he's guilty of manslaughter
yeah probably true. I doubt floyd would have died at that exact moment had he not kneed him
possibly later, but that is debatable
3rd degree murder is basically down to how you feel about police policy and that hold in general, i.e. he should not perform actions which carry undue risk to cause death
2nd degree murder would imply once he was in that position, he made a conscious decision to kill Floyd and took steps beyond what he would normally do to achieve that
the media was saying if he got manslaughter + 3rd degree would have been 8 years more than likely
just manslaughter would have been ~3
those feel more in-line with reality
I feel like on appeal he loses some of the charges but keeps manslaughter
no they all get thrown out Pika
if he wins on appeal
at least in this case
and Dolf I can see the argument for 3rd degree murder being that police procedure was flawed, and the officer performed unsafe acts which resulted in death
I'm not sure I agree with it, but it's in the realm of reasonable
prosecution was that he did a restrain that was not taught (yet there's images of in some of their training)
to me that kind of throws that 3rd degree argument out
Not following this whole shitshow much, I wonder what the defense candidly thought their chances were
scroll up
spooky, The defense was fine. I've said it before, from what I've heard about this, the prosecution was bad
I'e heard the defense didn't capitalize, prosecution was bad
Hardest part of prosecution was they had like 5 medical experts come out and say it was the knee that did it
from what I heard
I did not really follow the trial
none of us are 70 year old women who watch court TV
that's the problem
what are you talking about dolf
and on cross examination pretty much all the prosecutions witnesses where more detrimental to the prosecution
why would the prosecution argue that the knee was not the cause
