Hope so,I think the US needs some stability now!
Hope so,I think the US needs some stability now!The guilty verdict was the right one. The sentence has to be a lengthy one to stop riots occurring.

2nd and 3rd degree murder and manslaughter
I heard on the news that just one of the charges is at least 40 years.Hope so,I think the US needs some stability now!
Riots? You mean fiery peaceful protests.
Not surprised personally. Whatever you thought of Floyd, a policeman shouldn't behave like that, ever.
Sentencing in 8 weeks time, I just hope the loonies smashing up cities don't do it again. Police reform in the states also needed on the back of this.
Normally I'd agree, but this is so high profile and the reactions it would cause I'd be very surprised if they allowed that to happen. Clearly guilty from the off and the verdict is the correct one, but a pointless waste of money on a trial that was never going any other way.I’m afraid it’s unlikely this won’t be overturned at some point
Look I would put a million pounds on the fact that the Cnut took a great deal of pleasure in what he did and didn’t care whether a black man lived or died. However I think what you’ve said there may be his saving grace that the argument will be the outside influences. Also they may well compare it to other killings by cops and compare outcomes
Hmmmm yes, maybe Chauvin could take these arguments and hire a lawyer, and the lawyer could spend several weeks arguing them to a jury. You could put it on TV!
It’s almost as if there has been never been a retrial where exactly the same points and arguments have led to a different outcome
Really?If you want to depress yourself, the Daily Mail comments on the article relating to this verdict are a awful read. Worse than twitter.
Some states have double jeopardy don’t they or does that only work one way? Ie a not guilty verdict?Are you sure about that? There can be a retrial using "exactly" the same evidence if you can prove some kind of irregularity, misconduct or error with the first trial. So in your legal opinion, what was the problem with this case?

The prosecutors were keen to have third degree as essentially a fall back if they didn't get a second degree conviction but I wasn't aware you could be convicted of both.Why were there three charges against the officer and at different 'levels' so to speak?
Second degree murder
Third degree murder
Manslaughter
I know the laws in the US are different but would've thought it would only be one of the above charges?
One of the other truly depressing things about the case is how the racism in some people is so deeply embedded they can't even see it.Tadlass2020, UK, United Kingdom, moments ago
If floyd hadn't been stealing in the first place...

"but I don't think it's prejudiced us with additional material that would prejudice this jury," he said, adding that "a congresswoman's opinion really doesn't matter a whole lot.""Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned."
"Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned." according to Judge Cahill so there's every chance this depressing tale is not over and done with yet.
Cahill was referring to comments Maxine Waters (Californian Congresswoman) made over the weekend that some may have taken as a threat of riots if Chauvin was not found guilty.
