If you're stupid enough to allow yourself to be chosen for this jury, you deserve it.

They’re going to try and prove Intent to Cause Bodily Harm I suppose. That’s tough considering those tactics were in the Police training manual.


It's in the training manual to continue to keep your knee on someone's neck AFTER you learn they are no longer breathing? For over 2 minutes after you learn? Because if it is, the prosecutors should go after some bigger fish.

It's a shame a protest had to make this happen. But charged doesn't mean conviction ..

And Floyds attorney is on Foxnews now saying "The family wants 1st degree murda". Apparently, his amberlamps chasing law degree doesn't make him realize they would never get a conviction for pre meditation and 1st degree.

Should probably direct this question to someone actually qualified to answer if...hint: they not on this board.

Yep. They won't be happy until they charge themselves out of a guilty verdict. Then, they will scream and cry and riot all over again without having the care or intelligence to know why, a seemingly slam dunk case, went to shite.

Or did he upgrade the charges because the police officer knowingly brought his knee with him to work that day?

I hope that's sarcasm and not reality.

Hard to see how someone can get a license to practice law when they don’t even know the difference between 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree murder.

I guess ‘first degree murder’ just sounds better and more pleasing to the mob, so why not just throw it out there.

Non-premeditated murder, but intent to kill...should have left it at 3 unless there’s evidence out there not being made public.


You don't need intent to kill for 2nd degree murder, depraved indifference is the standard, the kicker MN has is depraved indifference while committing a felony, I am sure they can prove a felony along with depraved indifference.

Did they just guarantee that these guys are found not guilty?

No way they can prove intent to kill.

Placating. They may charge themselves out of a guilty verdict if they aren't careful.


They want riots. A guilty verdict won't get more riots.

they over charging, so when it comes back as homicide, they can whine, no juice boxes, no peas.

Good luck getting the other 3.

If you can just list everything out there under the moon why even have charges listed? I mean why not 1st degree everytime? Then just come down with manslaughter? Seems absurd to be able to go after a greater charge just because.

You lose credibility with the jurors when you pursue a conviction on a completely frivolous charge.

Establishing intent to kill seems almost impossible in this situation. This plus the examiners report set up an easy defense.

Any chance they are pushing for a plea to avoid the theatrics of a trial?
