Shit like that is appalling.
Murder2, sentenced to 15, lined up for 10.
Sentencing reduction on appeal.
You're really all in on the murder 2 charge, eh?
unintentional death in commission of a felony. You have to believe that Chauvin's actions were within MSP guidelines OR that they did not contribute substantially to George Floyd's death to get away from Murder2.
I don't think anyone who's listened to the testimony of the prosecution witnesses and watched the video would come to either of those conclusions. Given the social climate, I think it's the only time that a police officer is going to get "white justice". We're never going to get to where cops get "black justice", but this is a start.
Chauvin actually had George Floyd in the recovery position when they took him out, and then put him prone (only authorized while placing in restraints). The way Chauvin held Floyd down with the knee on the neck is "never authorized or trained".
You should look up 3rd degree assault for Minnesota.

Is there somewhere you can put money in this?
I'd like to know the over/under on people in the courtroom loudly invoking deities after the verdict is read.

@The Pendulum is a good escrow for these types of bets.
why? you don't think killing someone is "grave bodily harm" or you don't think George Floyd was in fear of "grave bodily harm?
so you don't think George Floyd was in fear of any of those things?
because the statute is that you do those things or you cause someone to fear those things.
Maybe I'm not the one who needs to look in to MN criminal law?
EDIT - they also called EMS because he had a cut/abrasion on his mouth, and I'm guessing he had more than one bruise...

The 1st 5 minutes he was very afraid.
Rightfully so, because after that he died.
Doesn't say anything in there about "in fear of". Even that would be a long stretch given that anyone with a lick of sense is in fear of that any time they interact with the police.
And that's a problem, but accurate
That's why I read Minnesota Statute 609.02 subd. 10 instead of whatever you posted.
"Subd. 10.Assault.
"Assault" is:
(1) an act done with intent to cause fear in another of immediate bodily harm or death; or
(2) the intentional infliction of or attempt to inflict bodily harm upon another."
Protect and Serve, with a side of Terrorism
fuck em
nah - we just need to say "Fuck the Daryl Gates School of Policing".
California is terrible, I'll allow it.
