I watched most of the defense’s summation. He spent a lot of time on the video, repeatedly showing the difference in perception when you look at a still photo and the video in real time. He then spent another long while talking about GF’s heart blockages and the drugs in his system.
I felt DC would escape the murder charges but not the manslaughter, based on the fact the GF was in his care, and while maybe not killing him, he allowed him to die. I was wrong.
Yup. It is understandable the the defence would grasp at any straws, but a couple of stills taken from just before the paramedics arrive does not change the narrative or the facts. It seems the jury saw through this, too.
588 pages and nobody in here posted the original bystander video that showed George Floyd being murdered??? or did I miss it?? Did anyone here watch the Darnella Frazier video…which was THE most crucial evidence that got Derek convicted of murder? Oh yes! I watched it on May 26th, 2020 about an hour after Darnella posted it and I was appalled, outraged and literally cried that day. No human being should’ve done this horrendous act to another human being. Justice was served!!!
Is there an adult in America who hasn’t seen that video? I believe the video was posted in another thread. Please note this thread title and when this thread started.
It’s tough to have an opinion of the trial or the legal culpability of Chauvin and the others without watching it and a good portion of the evidence presented at the trial, though I know many here still do.
I do not have an opinion as to the verdicts of the case, but I definitely have an opinion as to how the media, politicians and others have reacted to this incident since its inception.
For example, one “reporter” for the Washington Compost, prior to the trial, wrote that the MPD killed Floyd. She did not say allegedly or the officers are charged with, etc., etc.
