They cut the audio feed for the next few minutes for juror 17 cause they are worried the next few questions will ruin his privacy.

Both sides are trying to get him struck for cause by the judge so they don't have to burn a strike. The state was also trying to push the defense to burn a strike on him.

Unless he declares that he is incapable of being impartial or will disregard evidence that is presented (literally ignore it, not give it minimal weight) then it'll be tough to get him struck for cause. Those kind of jurors are the worst. Everyone in the room knows they're biased as shite but you can't get them to say the magic words.



He's a massive idiot. He straight up said he doesn't want to be on the jury, but also won't say the words to get struck.

They could have cut him 30 minutes ago. Why did they cut the audio this time?

Juror #17 is excused from the case, Says, "Good afternoon" as he leaves


This was cause he said he would treat police officers differently depending on which side called them as witnesses, also that he's 19 and seemed overwhelmed and anxious.

I'm impressed to the extent they are going to make sure they aren't looked at as being biased. What's sad is knowing that going through all this trouble will go for naught if the masses don't get their way.

Potential juror #19 says he agrees with the sentiment of “Black Lives Matter” but may disagree with tactics.

Has a slightly unfavorable view of “Blue Lives Matter”.

Juror #19 indicated on questionnaire that his view of Chauvin was somewhat negative. "because the fact someone died." He also said "George" didn't get the chance to have his day in court for whatever he was accused of.

Now potential juror #19 has stated he has a friend with MPD. That should disqualify him. Full stop.

#19 says he’s a “friend of a friend”.

Juror #19 has a friend who is an MPD police officer. Not a "super close friend." Saw him perhaps two times per year pre-COVID. K9 handler.


quote:

Defense just asked for “cause” (to dismiss potential juror #19)

Assuming “cause” is re: him having to work late nights after trial days - another potential juror was excused by the judge who felt he would be too busy with work and has had jurors fall asleep.


quote:

Potential juror #19 is a financial auditor - prosecution is asking essentially if he will be able to give his whole attention during the busy work season.

Again, another juror was excused because of this concern.

Prosecution asked potential juror #19 about his comments about Floyd’s drug use - #19 states he doesn’t think that should justify his death. Now asking #19 referencing Floyd’s “checkered past” - #19 says he could set that aside, each trial should stand on own.

Cops shouldn't place their knee's on peoples airways. Regardless of the outcome of this trial, they need to be more self aware about simple things that will lose them their jobs and continue to make cops look like total retards.

I have had the privilege of doing a week long jury science course and several mock jury trials with people off the street for real cases I was on. All of them were civil cases. When the microphones are turned on without their knowledge and you hear the discussions jurors have, you will almost never want to place your interests in their hands.

Please do yourself a favor and go read the autopsy results. Airway had no blockage nor damage. Your post shoukd have said:
GF shouldn't have swallowed ILLIGAL drugs that added to the high amount of drugs already in his system causing an OD. Watch the video he was already saying he couldn't breathe before they took him down.

Police followed their manual for dealing with someone out of control and in drugs.
