Why Derek Chauvin's guilty verdict may be overturned | Opinion

SSgt (Join to see) The jurors made the correct decision. Now it's the additional 3 Officers time to stand before the Judge & Jury. I agree the Representative's remarks were inappropriate & may result in a higher courts overturning the verdict... resulting in a new trial. However, the Representatives remarks pale in comparion to the remarks of many speaking on Jan 6th just prior to the insurrection. IMO...

One of the more sober post-conviction analyses I've seen. And I think he makes some very valid points (they'd be good ones if most folks took them to heart).

Chauvin is guilty a hell. No ifs ands buts about it. This article is one of many that try to create this alternate narrative and sow doubt into the minds of some people that somehow he didn't get a fair trial. That's bullshit.

The threat became a part of the court record, and as the judge told Chauvin's defense lawyer, "Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned."

For the judge to even bring up Maxine Waters in the trial is ridiculous. Why should anyone on that jury care what she said? Plenty of people have something to say about the trial but their words don't mean jack and honestly I never even herd what she said until now. Does it change my opinion? No.
