Nelson is so right on this.



Absolutely the jury should have been sequestered 10000%

Just my $.02:

Quick verdict (i.e., <8 hrs) means guilty.

The longer it goes, the better for the defense... unless it goes TOO long (i.e., days) in which case it is tilting back toward the prosecution because they jury has maybe one holdout and the judge wants them to keep going.

If this is a hung jury, it will take days to get there.
this is the case for all cases.



Did i just hear the judge said Waters might have given them grounds for a mistrial?

The defenses main argument is that Floyds health played a role in his death. It seems that would be easy to prove. Why can't the defense just video tape a healthy man with a knee on his back for 8 mins? I really doubt a healthy person doesn't walk away from that.

I'm shocked the prosecution isn't jumping on this chance for the mistrial.

Judge Cahill: Well I'll give you that Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned.

woah.

Cahill denies the motion for a mistrial on the basis of a tainted jury.

“A congresswoman’s opinion shouldn’t matter [to the jurors] in this case.”
Sadly, it will. Should’ve sequestered the jury if you didn’t want that happening, Judge

After watching the closing arguments, the defense didn't even bring up one good reason why any of this was justified. I wouldn't be surprised if the verdict is done quickly.
