How long does closing arguments usually take in a trial like this?


Assuming each side goes into medical evidence and opinions of experts deeply - the State could go a few hours - probably up to lunch. Defense likely two hours or more. I imagine deliberations will begin sometime late afternoon.

My intelligence would be insulted if I were on that jury and had to listen to this.

It's hard to pin a white cop on the death of a repeat convict drug addict who was resisting arrest who also had severe heart disease.

I imagine it must be tough to say shite you really don’t believe and know it sounds ridiculous.

I would never be a counsel.

I don't think some jurors will accept the murder charge and I don't think some will accept the manslaughter charge.. I'm still going with Mistrial by hung jury.

He’s making statements that he cannot prove.

This is disgusting.

How many watching this want to just slap the shite out of the prosecutor?


Funny he just talks about Floyd being awake in the store and goes back out to the car with his friends then gets tap on window. Guess he forgot Floyd passing out in car 1st

If Chauvin is guilty of murder, then how are the officers who held this guy down and fended off the crowd not just as guilty for holding Floyd down while they "murdered" him?

That alone tells me there is something weird going on here.

So because he had handcuffs on he was " compliant"

The prosecutor might as well say " ignore the testimony and listen to my lies".

I just don't see how he is guilty. Now that the trial has exposed the facts, my view has changed.

I'm sure they'll stick him with a BS charge for optics. Justice system is fricked if this happens.
