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

[missy1974]

I live in Minnesota - everyone is on edge.

I think that I wish the talking heads would stop talking

Everyone is convinced it's guilty, but they are not being specific... so if it comes back as guilty on one but not another... some are only going to hear "not guilty", not taking it all into account. If that makes sense?

I just want the 'celebration' to be peaceful.

Good luck to you all in Minnesota and hopefully things will get better. RIP George Floyd.

Ditto, so much.

It’s only 4 pm and I need wine to calm my nerves! I wonder if they reached a decision last night and wanted to sleep on it to see if they woke up feeling the same, then hashed out more details today.

I would say the facts fit 3rd degree murder or second degree manslaughter.

Good to see you

I haven't caught up with closing arguments yet but had to come back for the verdict. Quite a quick decision from the jury?

"...In the downtowns of cities across the U.S. and around the world, windows are being boarded up; police officers are being ordered to cancel holidays; and the world awaits a jury's verdict..."

Which is why everyone, regardless what country they live in, are entitled to comment on this trial and its outcome.

I would say the facts fit 3rd degree murder or second degree manslaughter.

IMO the jury will come back with DC being found guilty on third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

 

[geevee]

We need to get @geevee here.

I'm right here my good friend, thanks for thinking of me, wish we could be together for the reading.

According to pooler, Derek Chauvin is now at the courthouse with his attorney.

that’s what I thought. Last night they ate dinner and did a quick vote around the table. Today they just hashed things out.

 

[MeadowMuffin]

That's exactly what I'm hearing as well.

Thank you!

Yes that is very likely. No matter the verdict, someone will be angry and there could be more rioting and burning. Lots of security around the courthouse. All of us in MN are anxious about the city. Of all our family, we are the only ones that are rural, everyone lives near or in Mpls.

 

[Bravo]

RIP George Floyd and I pray folks remain peaceful.

 

[jamjim]

Whew, feeling nervous but cautiously optimistic that they’ve already reached a verdict after such a short time. RIP George Floyd.

10 hrs. I believe

OMG. I was immediately nervous (even though I haven’t been following) when reading online that the verdict is in and would be read at 3:30. Don’t know what to hope except for calm.

RIP George Floyd and I pray folks remain peaceful.

Praying right along with you my friend.
