For example, I was surprised he let the fat fire-fighter gal opine twice that Chauvin killed Floyd. Nary the peep of an objection. He should have challenged her on that to expose her bias (not that it wasn't obvious, but you never know how jurors receive evidence).

I didn't think the defense use of force/police practices expert was very well prepped either. He could have been a lot stronger, IMHO.

I agree, they will riot either way. Yup. Been posting that for months.

He's another witness for the prosecution.

Well, Maxine Waters' comments at a protest/riot last night should, in a just world, result in a mistrial.
Too bad we're not anywhere near a just world......

I doubt it though....Neg Manslaughter at best.
Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

" Chauvin Will Walk... "
LMAO, is there anyone actually so plucking dumb as to believe this ?
If so, I have a summer resort on Peter I Island to book you into for a month's stay. Shorts, T-shirts and flip flops required.

Should Chauvin have testified? No way any competent defense attorney would have put him on the stand. And that's assuming Chauvin was articulate, quick-witted, and likeable. I've not watched much of the trial but it seems to me the defense attorney left a lot on the table. If the defense attorney asks the follow-up questions, and gets answers he doesn't like, he can't argue the point in closing arguments. I really want to watch the defense closing. It's impossible to predict jury verdicts but Chauvin's only chance is a hung jury. Despite the protests and jury pressure, the judge, though he has been generally fair, won't grant a mistrial. And I just don't see the jury as willing to acquit. Maybe if the police/race relations quiet down in a few years, Chauvin wins on appeal.

Does the jury vote have to be unanimous to convict?
Or does Chauvin just need one?
Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

Unanimous to convict or to acquit on any or all three counts.

Steven Schleichter is really not likeable.
I'm surprised they let him do the closing for the prosecution.
Schleichter talks to the jury like they are children.
