[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was wondering why Chauvin did not look for a plea deal since the fact that he murdered Floyd is beyond obvious: there is a video showing exactly what he did, with Floyd slowly chocking to death and begging for his life, bystanders begging the police to check on him and take the knee off his neck, including a white off-duty EMT woman. one of the bystanders called the police on the police, heck, even the police dispatcher called her supervisor to report what she was watching. and the testimony that Chauvin still had his knee on Floyd's neck when Floyd had no pulse. to me this would be a case where the accused tries to get the best deal possible because the trial is for sure going to go badly for him. then I come here and see the posts of people defending the cop and I understand. really shame on you.

Chauvin was going to take a plea deal early on that had been worked out with local prosecutors and would have a potential 10 year prison sentence. Part of the deal was immunity from federal charges. Barr’s office did not want to sign the deal and the deal fell through. This was the story behind an unusual press conference that had been called to announce a development in the local case, that ended up starting like two hours late and then the spokesperson appeared and said something cryptic like “we had hoped to bring you a significant development today but can’t.”

This was a huge leak prior to jury selection.

So the defense realizes there are elements in this case that made a plea deal a realistic option.
