That trial had about as much legitimacy as a Stalin era drumhead court.

He's already been stabbed once. He's got a massive target on his back.


One incident but stabbed 22 times and nearly killed.

Wiki summary:
quote:

While serving his concurrent state and federal sentences at the FCI Tucson prison, Chauvin was stabbed 22 times with a shank by another inmate while in the facility's law library at about 12:30 p.m. local time on November 24, 2023.[135][136] Prison employees performed "life-saving" measures on Chauvin who suffered serious bodily injury and was taken to a hospital for further evaluation and treatment.[137] Prior to the assault, Chauvin's lawyer had advocated for keeping him away from other inmates for his own protection.[138] The stabbing attack on Chauvin was compared to the July 2023 prison assault on Larry Nassar and it raised further scrutiny of inmate safety in the federal prison system.[138] Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison denounced the attack, stating that Chauvin "was duly convicted of his crimes and, like any incarcerated individual, he should be able to serve his sentence without fear of retaliation or violence."[139][140]


This also looks like he was not separated from general population.

If true, why now? Should have been done before he got the crap beat out of him in prison. This country and its crack heroes! Damn!

It needs to happen - right after Nov elections. Don’t want to start mostly peaceful murders and looting and burning before them.

That's great, but he's still fricked in Minnesota.

Anyone who has seen the documentary The Fall of Minneapolis knows this without a doubt. Chauvin was a sacrifice to the woke leftist Dindu gods to get the minions to stop rioting and burning cities down. Period. NOTHING he did was illegal or even against protocol.

Any reports of his treatment in prison?


Not long after he was inside he was attacked and messed up pretty badly, if I remember correctly.

Our justice system lacks a mechanism to deal with legal matters that are hyper radioactive. Much like a lot of the legal shenanigans of the 2020 election, there is a point where the judiciary chooses personal expediency over justice. It’s easier to pretend mountains evidence don’t exist or are irrelevant than to be the judge that puts his name on the line and grants relief..

Mr Chauvin is fricked regardless or guilt or innocence because cowards in robes infect every single corner of our justice system

Correct. The manual with the APPROVED restraint technique he used was not even allowed in court. Thug was crying “I can’t breathe” before Chauvin was even on the scene.

Yep! Essentially the justice system is washing their hands of it. Why put your neck on the line as a judge when the next judge in line is going to punt to protect his neck?

I know. That's why he's fricked. The state of Minnesota will not let this guy go free, no matter how good his case is.

In fairness, they weren't ticky-tacky charges. Going from memory, they underreported by about $500k over a few years and failed to file for 2-3. Those aren't just some bending of the deduction rules like oversizing your home office or deducting a few hobby expenses and holding it out as a business. Failure to file is almost always going to catch up with you, especially if you get W2s or 1099s.

He should be paid a HANDSOME amount for false imprisonment.

often placed In these protective units for everyone’s benefit. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is in such a unit. Also wouldn’t be surprised if the correctional officers were treating him well.

Because we haven’t heard anything I imagine he’s fine.

No news is good news in that world.
