Chauvin faces 12-1/2 years in prison for his murder conviction under Minnesota sentencing guidelines. But prosecutors could seek a longer sentence up to a maximum of 40 years if Judge Peter Cahill determines there were 'aggravating factors' https://t.co/n1LniKuBwG https://t.co/GDHQdcMxej
Jurors in Minnesota took barely 10 hours to convict Derek Chauvin in the May 2020 death of George Floyd on all three charges against him, offering a quick and decisive verdict in the most-watched police-misconduct case in years.
The speedy result, announced in a Minneapolis courtroom this afternoon, is a sign of how unusual the case is. The verdict is a victory for justice and a relief to people, politicians, and police in Minnesota and beyond!
It wasn't a rigged jury. He was convicted by a jury of his peers.
Those words are in The Constitution of The United States of America and for which it stands.
Even now that the verdict is in, we may never know the identities of the 12-person jury that voted Tuesday to convict Derek Chauvin on all counts in the killing of George Floyd, in the most consequential criminal verdict in the country in over a year.
Seven women and five men decided Mr. Chauvin’s fate. Their ages ranged from people in their 20s to senior citizens. When the verdict was read the jurors voices were heard but their faces weren’t shown.
The jurors were selected from a pool of 326 people after 11 days of questioning, which examined their views on issues such as whether the police should be defunded and whether officers treat black and white suspects differently.
The jurors who were selected include a white, male chemist who said he hadn’t seen video footage of the incident prior to the trial. During the three-week trial, jurors were shown video footage of the incident 166 times. A Black female juror in her 60s has a relative who is a Minneapolis police officer and said she has a very favorable opinion of the Black Lives Matter movement. A multiracial female jurors in her 20s said of the activist group, “I like the idea of what they're supposed to stand for but I think it's been turned into a propaganda scheme."
The names of the jurors were kept secret to protect their privacy in a high-profile and divisive trial. They were sequestered in a hotel away from their families while they debated the verdict, which likely gave them some incentive to reach a quick verdict.
After reading out the verdict, Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill thanked the jurors “for not only jury service but heavy duty jury service.”
If you had several choices, one of which which might put you and your family in physical danger, and one would just result in a guy you don't know going to prison, which would be the easier option to choose?
And hence: the faster option?
Especially in this case, hesitation about the verdict would indicate a not guilty finding.
A quick decision, especially in this case, means "We surrender, Burn Loot Murder. Here's the racial scapegoat you wanted to lynch. Please don't burn our houses down or kill us."
Mad Max got her way.
As did the judge who absolutely refused very reasonable requests to change the venue of the trial and to sequester the jurors from news -- and threats.
There is no more America. This is a post-apocalyptic hellscape. There are no laws except for what violent racist mobs make.
There is where Ace is wrong as the leading intellect here explained. It’s their 1st Amendment right to see the news
It rarely works for the defense team. Proving evidence against the jurors, even in the modern media era. The first amendment rights guaranteed the rights of see the news
The eyes of fired Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, 44, darted back and forth when he heard the guilty verdict in the death of George Floyd, 46. Some defendants collapse in emotion on hearing their fates. Others are as expressive as a blank piece of paper. Chauvin was hard to read since he wore a mask amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but his eyes rarely seemed to settle on any part of the courtroom.
Jurors took about 10 hours to deliberate from Monday afternoon to Tuesday afternoon. They found Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree murder.
The state said Floyd died from 9 minutes and 29 seconds of restraint by Chauvin and other officers. The defendant did not get up from kneeling on the victim’s neck, even after bystanders called him out and paramedics arrived. Prosecutor Steve Schleicher said Chauvin was motivated by “ego-driven pride,” refusing to do what the crowd demanded.
The nine minutes and twenty nine seconds will live forever as a celebration of the life of George Floyd. Justice was served.
President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have called the family of George Floyd following the guilty verdict in the trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
Floyd family attorney Benjamin Crump posted video to Twitter of the family receiving the call.
JUSTICE for George! The emotions I feel right now are hard to describe. Derek Chauvin has been found guilty. This is the first time that a white officer has been convicted for killing a black man in Minnesota. This is monumental, George’s death is not in vain.
The result of the Derek Chauvin trial today is the right one. Convicting him of all three charges marks a new dawn in the fight for racial justice.
This trial was an opportunity for the justice system to hold Derek Chauvin accountable for his actions when he took the life of George Floyd. We can now breathe a collective sigh of relief that the right decision has been met, and that justice has been served.
Today’s outcome is a sombre victory for George and his family, but it shows that our efforts to promote justice are not in vain. Black voices have been heard and action is happening. When we stand together, we can make a difference.
But this is just one step on the path towards a more equal society. Since George’s death, so many other Black people have died at the hands of the police and we must ensure the momentum of today continues. The fight isn’t over, and there is more to be done, but we can consider today a glimmer of hope.
My thoughts and prayers are with George’s family. I hope they will feel a sense of peace from this result. #BlackLivesMatter
If the white men had been convicted by a jury of their peers, you would have said the jury was rigged.

Four Innocent Black Men Lynched in Macclenny, Florida
Image | The Hutchinson News
On October 5, 1920, a white mob lynched four innocent Black men named Fulton Smith, Ray Field, Ben Givens, and Sam Duncan in Macclenny, Florida. According to news reports at the time, a prominent, young, white farmer named John Harvey was shot and killed at a turpentine camp near MacClenny on October 4. The suspected shooter, a young Black man named Jim Givens, fled immediately afterward and mobs of armed white men formed to pursue him. Givens’s brother, Ben Givens, and two other Black men connected to him -- Smith and Field -- were questioned and jailed during the search. Though there was no evidence or accusation that they had been involved in the killing of Harvey, they were held simply for having a connection to the man the mob wanted.
Around 1 a.m. on October 5, a mob of about fifty white men overtook the jail and seized the three men from their cells, took them to the outskirts of town, tied them to trees and shot them to death. A fourth Black man, Sam Duncan, was found shot to death nearby later in the day. He also had no ties to the killing of John Harvey, and was thought to have been killed by the mob simply for being a Black man who they encountered.
The New York Times: Biden Praises Derek Chauvin Guilty Verdict President Biden praised a guilty verdict in the murder trial of the former police officer Derek Chauvin, but called it a “too rare” step to deliver “basic accountability” for Black Americans who have been killed during interactions with the police, the New York Times reports.
Said Biden: “It was a murder in full light of day, and it ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see. For so many, it feels like it took all of that for the judicial system to deliver just basic accountability.”
President Joe Biden said Tuesday the country could take a step toward racial justice after a jury found a former Minneapolis police officer guilty of murdering George Floyd in a case that was closely watched around the world.
Biden called the verdict in the Derek Chauvin case "a giant step towards justice in America" but added that much more needs to be done in his first remarks since the verdict.
Calling systemic racism makes Scott go crazier"a stain on our nation's soul," Biden said he was heartened by the jury's verdict, the testimony of other police officers against Chauvin throughout the trial and the collective realization about the reality of systemic racism worldwide that has taken place since Floyd's death. But Biden recognized that none of that progress, or Chauvin being found guilty, would bring Floyd back.
"Nothing can ever bring their brother, their father back, but this can be a giant step forward in the march towards justice in America," Biden said.
The President adding that the verdict in this case is "much too rare" and at the same time "not enough."
"For so many people it seems like it took a unique and extraordinary convergence of factors. A brave young woman with a smartphone camera. A crowd that was traumatized," Biden said adding that the murder lasted "almost ten minutes."
The smartphone ten minutes changed the county, because law and order was restored.
Loud cheering erupted from Floyd’s family members watching in an adjacent courthouse room as the judge read the verdict to a city and nation on edge. At the Minneapolis intersection where the Black man died on May 25, a vigil gave way to celebration as crowds began to course down the streets. People hung out of their cars, honked and waved signs as images of Chauvin being handcuffed and taken into custody played on millions of TVs and phones across the United States.
“It means so much to me,” said Venisha Johnson, a Black woman who cried at a gathering in what's been dubbed George Floyd Square as the verdict was read. “I’ve been praying for George everyday, every morning at 6 a.m. I’m just so happy. The way he was murdered was terrible! But thank you, Jesus.
Southern trees bear strange fruit, Blood on the leaves and blood at the root, Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze, Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.
Pastoral scene of the gallant South, The bulging eyes and twisted mouth, The scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh, Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.
Here is a fruit for the crows to pluck, For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck, For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop, Here is a strange and bitter crop.
55 people were shot unarmed by police all of last year. 18 were Black. Police have millions of interactions daily. More than 18 are shot every weekend in just Chicago because of gang violence. How about trying #AbolishTheGangs? (Source: Wash Post Shooting Tracker)
A poisonous narrative is being spread by democrats for political gain using blacks.
Scott Adams https://mobile.twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1384619948383752197 I'm satisfied with the Chauvin verdict. It's the best-case scenario in my opinion.
I agree, least amount of rioting afterwards and will be appealed for fair consideration in the future.
Law of Self Defense https://mobile.twitter.com/LawSelfDefense/status/1384649904660697093 Pro-tip: Facts & law don't matter when the jury knows anything other than guilty means they & their families face serious threats of physical, social, & economic destruction, and billions of dollars in damage and destruction, likely Detroit-permanent, to their community.
Schleicher framed the case against Chauvin as a defense of officers who do things right, portraying the defendant as a bad apple who besmirched his colleagues’ good names.
“This is not an anti-police prosecution,” he said. “It’s a pro-police prosecution.”
Given the evidence, Chauvin’s attorney, Eric J. Nelson, faced a difficult task. Rather than mount a full-throated defense of his client, Nelson sought to muddy the waters by convincing jurors that the state hadn’t proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
His arguments did not sway the jury. Jurors asked no questions of the judge during the course of their short deliberations.
The argument that the judge influenced the jury is gone.
Scott the rigged jury argument, based upon the fact that they were not sequestered for the entire trial has zero chance of aquital being sufficient evidence of jury tampering.
It took 11 days to seat the jury.
