GUILTY MN - George Floyd, 46, died in custody, Minneapolis, 25 May 2020 #19 - Chauvin Jury Deliberations #2

[Marysmith]

I wonder what Derek Chauvin is doing right now?

Getting mentally prepared for a guilty verdict - has to be.

Well folks it looks like I wont be here with you all when the verdict is read. I have to meet with OT at my MIL's home. I have to leave my house about 4:45 p.m. ET. Told ya

I'm not nervous waiting for the verdict nor getting the verdict when it comes.

I am nervous, and very worried about the safety of all of the citizens in that city, and area even it's all guilty verdicts.

Jmho

 

[missy1974]

I heard on the talk radio show I'm listening to that the verdict will be read in 30 minutes. I don't know who is right. JMO

it's expected between 40-70 minutes from now.

 

[adelynschmidt]

Oh wow, I totally did not expect a verdict today. Praying for everyone in minnesota, praying that justice is done and that things are peaceful & important conversations can now occur.

Not near a TV anyone have a link?

Fox reporting 4:30on other says shortly....

Nothing happening yet:

 

[Dogface]

Wow! Surprised just due to the amount of testimony I would have felt I needed to go over personally if I was a juror. Regardless how this goes, I just hope each juror feels confident in their vote, and most importantly everyone is able to stay safe. For me, this case is a reminder that any of us can be a few simple choices away from changing our life or the life of others.

 

[Kaley Smith]

I'd give him 20 yrs in prison due to the aggravating factors of depravity and the fact that he was in a position of trusted authority as a police officer who is supposed to serve and protect.

 

[JDG]

This is my only post on this matter.

I watched in horror at what happened and know what my opinion is about Chauvin.

Very quick decision on the part of the jury.

 

[Chelly]

@Sillybilly, apologies for consuming so much space with that lengthy jurors list a few posts above. I was looking for list at top of thread and couldn't find it, so dug out the one I'd saved from beginning of trial.

 

[Shaddow]

I’m thinking nay on the second degree murder, but aye on the other two

You don't think there would be more of a fight on guilty or not guilty on second degree, more than just a few hours?

 

[Bravo]

CNN is reporting it may be read as early as 4:30 ET.

ETA... Eastern Standard Time, one hour behind CST.

 

[BUF]

All I can say is WOW! This jury was focused!

 

[missy1974]

yeah, wherever the guilty/not guilty's fall ... I'm shocked it only took 10 hours. But then being reminded of other deliberations... I guess I shouldn't be

 

[KALI]

IMO. Neither Maxine Waters OF Biden should have said ANYTHING.

You need to read a little more WebSleuths. There is lot of conversations going on about other countries... Biden didn't not say anything "Incendiary."

 

[branmuffin]

POTUS did not reach out to Floyd Family or comment until the Jurors were sequestered.

Biden suggests the evidence in Chauvin trial is 'overwhelming': 'I'm praying that the verdict is the right verdict' - CNNPolitics

There aren't many trials that are explicitly tied to politics but this is one of them. When social justice and the law co-mingle, politics will always be involved. Murders are a dime a dozen unfortunately, but very few murders create a paradigm shift in the way institutions are run. Law enforcement is a pillar of a well run democracy. When society sees cracks in that pillar we don't need politicians weighing in until the results are known. Just my opinion.

Oh darn @Bravo. Well, at least we got to watch a trial together again. (I'll see if I can get them to read verdict a bit early.)
