"Is this Chauvin trial the 21st century's OJ trial?"


          

Not in terms of spectacle. But in terms of visibility and racial tensions/implications.

I can't remember the last trial (other than OJ) where all the court proceedings played out in full on the news.

It has echoes of Emmet Till to me, too.
Mar 31st 2021
14
what will happen when he gets off?
Mar 31st 2021
16

Mar 31st 2021
18

yes.
Mar 31st 2021

      it's the difference between hope and expectations.
Mar 31st 2021
24
           noted. well, i HOPE he gets convicted and i EXPECT him to be.
Mar 31st 2021
29
After seeing how they did Eric Garner, I'm not expecting justice
Mar 31st 2021
22
^^ so damn true.
Mar 31st 2021
31
now that's where i might agree...
Mar 31st 2021

Regardless of any of the facts, all it takes is one person on the jury

i expect nothing in this country
Mar 31st 2021
30
nah. they'll hit him w/ a minor, short charge
Mar 31st 2021
34
probably less than Amber Guyger, Aaron Dean still hasn't been to trial.....
Mar 31st 2021
37
      Michael Slager is the only one i can think that got an actual sentence
Apr 01st 2021

Yes. n/m

As far as the spectacle/coverage...Zimmerman was live streamed
Mar 31st 2021
19
Curious to hear this dipshit on the stand
Mar 31st 2021
26
Wait they're actually gonna let him take the stand ?!
Mar 31st 2021
32
      Cops usually take the stand when they kill us. They have to state
Mar 31st 2021

           Oh that's right. Forgot about that part of the process.

RE: Apparently this is the Maurice Hall trial now. Bullsh*t
Apr 01st 2021
42
      Yup this is going to be the defense's strategy
Apr 01st 2021
46
           this has been the plan the whole time.
Apr 01st 2021
47
i'm glad this asshat only has one attorney
Apr 01st 2021
43
He's got a team behind him, funded by a Minnesota Police organization
Apr 01st 2021
44
      i mean as far as questioning witness, objecting etc.
Apr 01st 2021
45
It’s going to come down to a duel of the medical examiners
Apr 02nd 2021
48
But on the defense side that's all they need to do...
Apr 02nd 2021
50
From the defense perspective theres multiple reasons he's not guilty
Apr 02nd 2021
51
      Feels like they’re contradicting their own argument(s) IMO
Apr 02nd 2021
54
           Agreed
Apr 02nd 2021
55
Prosecution did a good job getting ahead of the drug use stuff
Apr 02nd 2021

Plus the video of him, in the store, chilling, healthy
Apr 02nd 2021
52
Listened to some of the Dr's testimony this morning
Apr 05th 2021
58
      right...even if he was having a reaction to drugs
Apr 05th 2021
59
           I'm worried a juror will take that and say losing his job is
Apr 05th 2021
60
           You just described manslaughter...which is one of the charges
Apr 05th 2021

                Of course I agree. I think once of the murder charges should

y’all still watching?
Apr 07th 2021
64
Listening when I can, but I heard the 2 points of emphasis
Apr 07th 2021
65
I think they're going to say "He wasn't on his neck that long"
Apr 07th 2021
66
      true but even still, they are supposed to move him to the recovery
Apr 07th 2021
67
      Oh, they murdered him
Apr 07th 2021
70
      Which speaks to my 2nd point
Apr 07th 2021

Apr 09th 2021
83
Blaming the bystanders is actually an admission of guilt
Apr 09th 2021
75
They're leaning heavy on the concept of "reasonable"
Apr 09th 2021
79
      Wouldn’t Chauvin have to testify to that?
Apr 09th 2021
80
      Correct.
Apr 09th 2021
84
      Too bad the tape shows it is not reasonable
Apr 09th 2021
81
           I guess they can’t admit his experience as a club/bar security guard

that's race and gender in America
Apr 15th 2021
97
Defense’s use of force expert got absolutely destroyed on cross
Apr 13th 2021
93
yeah IONT see them putting Chauvin on the stand after that
Apr 14th 2021
94
who is the black prosecutor?
Apr 14th 2021

Apr 15th 2021

I don't understand the charges. like which is the worst
Apr 16th 2021

By possible sentence; 2nd degree is punishable by up to 40 years
