Pretty sure the others would take my offer and call it a day.
People yelling means Chauvin couldn’t help but keep his knee on the guy’s neck for 9.5 minutes? Seriously? Floyd wasn’t resisting — he was crying and saying he couldn’t breath. So I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about when you say “control a huge guy on drugs.”

Can someone post the verdicts here when they’re announced? I’m not near a TV and don’t think my networks on Twitter or FB are going to post about it as it happens.

Glad you’re not a juror because you’re wrong.

The defense in that case did a MUCH better job of identifying reasonable doubt, because there actually was some doubt. In this case? How?
I sat on a jury years ago, and knowing that it has to be unanimous, given the evidence we saw I find it virtually impossible to believe that ALL the jurors would vote not guilty.

They only deliberated 6 hours to reach the not guilty verdict after the Rodney King beating.

Why do I hope there is peace on the streets??
why are you so sure it’s guilty?
I said it in the first sentence. Because it's a fast verdict.
and ... my question is why you think fast means guilty. to me it just means they reached a unanimous quickly and easily.
Well, if I am going to be perfectly honest it's because that's what CNN and all the news talking heads say a quick verdict usually means. Someone even threw out some stats. I/they could be wrong but that's what they all think- even the fox people.

Agreed. The question now becomes how guilty they found Chauvin. If they decide on lesser charges, then that could easily prompt riots.
I asked this upthread and maybe a lawyer can answer. Do you think its likely that they find him guilty on the manslaughter charge but not the murder charges? Or does fast verdict usually mean guilty of everything.

Holding it off will also set people off. There's so much tension that it doesn't matter much when you do it.
