Jury selection going slow... could be next week before the full jury is selected

Potential Jurors in the George Floyd Killing Case Are Afraid They'll Be Targeted. Can't Imagine Why
Some of the people being considered for jury service in the trial of Derek Chauvin said that they were worried for their lives and the safety of their families if selected to serve on the jury. Their fear is entirely understandable. Floyd’s death led to nearly $2 billion in losses from arsons, looting, rioting, and mayhem. Nineteen people were shot.
In November, Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill ruled against a change of venue “Because of … pervasive media coverage, a change of venue is unlikely to cure the taint of potentially prejudicial pretrial publicity.” Instead, Cahill finds himself with some, though not all, jurors who are fearful that their families would be doxxed, hurt, or worse by the same violent thugs who burned down the Third Police Precinct, a Target Store, and shot 19 people in the riots that followed Floyd’s death.

If there was ever about a hundred reasons to move a trial, the Derek Chauvin trial would be the one. But the trial will take place amongst protests, possible riots, and everything in between, and this will be all prior to the verdict. No doubt there will be violence and destruction for any verdict short of murder and no doubt the jurors will be targeted. The concept that this will NOT influence a jury is mindboggling. 

UPDATE:

Third day of the trial produced a grand whopping total of two more jurors, putting the total number at 5. They will need 16 overall. This could take a while.

McConnell Praises Merrick Garland
THE LOUISVILLE COURIER JOURNAL:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell voted to confirm Merrick Garland as President Joe Biden’s attorney general, five years after he blocked the longtime judge’s nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Said McConnell:
“I’m voting to confirm Judge Garland because of his long reputation as a straight-shooter and legal expert. His left-of-center perspective has been within the legal mainstream.”

“It showed the totals raised by the Senate Republican super PAC and for the two Georgia Senate races that cost the party its majority. ‘Total: $612+ million.’ ‘In 3 cycles: nearly $1 billion,’ the card said. Below that were the former president’s statistics: ‘Trump: $148+ million,’ referring to America First, the outside group that was formed to support Mr. Trump in 2020.”

Washington Post

MINNEAPOLIS — Jury selection is set to resume Thursday in the trial of the former Minneapolis police officer charged in the death of George Floyd, with the court expected to address an ongoing legal dispute over charges in the case.

Here’s what to know:

Prosecutors are seeking to reinstate a third-degree murder charge against former officer Derek Chauvin after the Minnesota Supreme Court on Wednesday declined to hear an appeal from Chauvin’s attorney on the issue.Hennepin County District Court Judge Peter A. Cahill, who is overseeing the trial, has rejected the charge in the past, saying it cannot be applied in this case. He continued with jury selection despite prosecution calls for proceedings to stop until charges against Chauvin are clarified.Two more jurors were seated Wednesday, and five have been impaneled overall as the court seeks to seat 12 jurors and up to four alternates — a faster than expected pace in the closely watched case.

At issue is the prosecution’s attempt to reinstate a third-degree murder charge against Chauvin, the White officer filmed with his knee on Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes during a police investigation last May. He is charged with second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the Black man’s death.

On Wednesday, the Minnesota Supreme Court declined to take up the appeal filed by Eric Nelson, Chauvin’s attorney, seeking to overturn a state Court of Appeals ruling that ordered Cahill to reconsider a third-degree murder charge in the case.


Cahill, who threw out the charge in the fall, on Monday declined to take up the issue, saying he did not have jurisdiction because the appeals court ruling was pending. Cahill described the third-degree murder charge as a narrow issue in the case and pressed forward with jury selection and other pretrial matters. That decision drew objections from prosecutors, who filed an appellate court motion for a stay in the case, arguing that the lack of clarity on charges and questions about Cahill’s jurisdiction risk the case being thrown out on appeal.

It was not immediately clear how the state Supreme Court decision would affect the pace of the trial. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D), whose office is overseeing the prosecution, suggested that he thought it cleared the way for Cahill to reinstate the third-degree murder charge, calling it “fair and appropriate” in the case.

But as word of the ruling broke during a pause in jury selection late Wednesday afternoon, Cahill said the issue remained unclear. “I think we still have the jurisdictional issue,” Cahill said. He said he would address it during pretrial motions on Thursday.

Sleepy Joe Biden will hold his first national address tonight.

President Joe Biden can report in his first prime-time address Thursday that a vaccination drive now reaching 2 million people daily has brought America far closer to exiting the pandemic than when he took office 50 days ago.

With new infections and deaths way down from their peaks of a horrific winter, Biden can afford to conjure hope that better days may be imminent and will speak to the nation from a position of political strength. He is also armed with a newly passed $1.9 trillion Covid-19 rescue package -- his first major legacy achievement -- which represents an ambitious attempt to rebuild the US economy to favor the less well off.

"This bill represents a historic, historic victory for the American people," Biden said Wednesday, touting his rescue plan that finally cleared Congress on Wednesday and pivoting to an address that he said would inform the country what "comes next" in the effort to prevail over the coronavirus.

A clear majority of Americans -- 60% -- approves of the new President's handling of the pandemic in a new CNN poll. He has reintroduced the nation to calm, functional leadership and a scientific approach to the public health crisis, and has ended the stream of vitriol that poured from the Oval Office for four years.

Yet in a national crisis this deep and in a country so polarized less than two months since ex-President Donald Trump's insurrection, nothing is remotely normal. While Biden honored campaign promises to take the virus seriously, to secure funds to get kids back to school and to help Americans pummeled by the economic crisis, his White House is weighed down by stark challenges.

A White House official said Biden's Thursday night speech, expected to last about 20 minutes, would focus on the lives lost and changed in the pandemic and the work Biden's administration has done to rapidly increase the vaccination effort. The President will also explain what must still be done to defeat the virus,

off-topic but worth a post -

One of the worst performing pension funds in the world last year was yours.

And you probably didn’t even know it.

All that money you’ve poured into the Social Security trust fund over the years earned less than 1% during 2020, the funds’ administrators have revealed.

The S&P 500 index SPX, 0.71% ? Try 18%.

Even a simple balanced fund of U.S. stocks and bonds, such as the Vanguard Balanced Index Fund VBIAX, +0.47%, earned 16%.

And the giant pension and investment fund run by the government of Norway earned 10.9%.

The returns earned by Social Security is the scandal that keeps on taking. The previous year, the Norwegian pension fund gained 20%, the balanced index fund 22%, and the S&P 500 31%.

Your and my Social Security dollars? Just 2.2%.

No, I’m not kidding. So far in 2021 the fund’s returns have been less than the rate of inflation.

Actually, over the past 10 years the returns of the Norwegian fund have outpaced those of our Social Security dollars by more than 400%. That balanced fund has beaten Social Security by nearly 600%.

I come back to this scandal because Congress just spent $86 billion of our money bailing out private sector pension funds on behalf of the Teamsters and other unions, while continuing to do absolutely nothing whatsoever to put Social Security on a stable financial footing.

The current funding hole in Social Security is $16.8 trillion, according to the trustees. That’s equal to 80% of annual U.S. economic output, or just over $50,000 for every person in the country.

It is a sheer outrage—few hyperboles are strong enough—that we are all required by law to invest 12.4% of every dollar we earn into a pension fund that is run like something out of the Marx Brothers movies. (They take 6.2% from our side of the bucket, and 6.2% from the employers’ side of the bucket. It all works out the same.)

And that 242 million Americans are forced to pin their retirement hopes on a system that is being knowingly left in crisis by those in charge.

If the Social Security trust fund were a mutual fund it would be wound down.

If this were a private sector pension fund there would be lawsuits everywhere.

Huge news

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A judge on Thursday granted prosecutors’ request to add a third-degree murder charge against the former Minneapolis police officer charged in George Floyd’s death.

Hennepin County Judge Peter Cahill reinstated the charge after the former officer, Derek Chauvin, failed to get appellate courts to block it. Cahill had earlier rejected the charge as not warranted by the circumstances of Floyd’s death, but an appellate court ruling in an unrelated case established new grounds for it.

Chauvin already faced second-degree murder and manslaughter charges. Legal experts say the additional charge helps prosecutors by giving jurors one more option to convict Chauvin of murder.


The dispute over the third-degree murder charge revolved around the conviction of another former Minneapolis police officer in the unrelated killing of an Australian woman. The appeals court recently affirmed Mohamed Noor’s third-degree murder conviction in the 2017 shooting death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, and the state used that affirmation to argue that it established new justification for the charge in Chauvin's case.

Cahill agreed that the precedent

Joe Biden reflected recently on the last time a Democratic administration had to rescue an economy left in tatters by a Republican president.

“The economists told us we literally saved America from a depression,” Biden told the House Democratic Caucus last week. “But we didn’t adequately explain what we had done. Barack was so modest; he didn’t want to take, as he said, a ‘victory lap’. I kept saying, ‘Tell people what we did.’ He said, ‘We don’t have time. I’m not going to take a victory lap.’ And we paid a price for it, ironically, for that humility.”

The 46th US president is often lauded for his humility but don’t expect him to repeat Obama’s mistake. Once his $1.9tn coronavirus relief bill is signed, he is set to take an extended victory lap by travelling the country to promote it.

Commander-in-Thief Biden said...


Biden couldn't take a "victory lap" if he tried.

There was a little bi-partisan opposition to the plan in the House and not a single Republican voted for it in total.

On Sunday, The New York Times reported that the bill passed by the Senate over the weekend includes an $86 billion bailout for failing union pension plans. The article’s subtitle informs readers that “Democrats pushed through a big aid measure for multiemployer pensions whose problems predate the pandemic.”

The report by Mary Williams Walsh and Alan Rappeport tells us the $86 billion “has nothing to do with the pandemic” and represents “a taxpayer bailout for about 185 union pension plans that are so close to collapse that without the rescue, more than a million retired truck drivers, retail clerks, builders and others could be forced to forgo retirement income.”

(b)Whoever, without intent to cause death, proximately causes the death of a human being by, directly or indirectly, unlawfully selling, giving away, bartering, delivering, exchanging, distributing, or administering a controlled substance classified in Schedule I or II, is guilty of murder in the third degree
