Yeah I know that. Which is why I recognized that fact in the OP genius. This trial isn’t going to happen for at least half a year. Probably longer. I doubt it’ll have the same amount of coverage as it’s getting now. Who knows what’s going to be dominating the news cycle during that time.It depends on what the prosecutor charges him with.
If they charge him with both second and third degree murder, the jury gets to choose.
But if the prosecutor goes for broke and charges for second only, then the jury will have to decide if he's guilty of that, and if he isn't, they have no choice but to let him off completely.
Reality check, buddy. After this last week and all the riots, Ellison could charge him with Witchcraft and they'd find him guilty of that.
My point is why risk it?? 3rd degree murder is perfect. No one was complaining about 3rd degree murder. It’s just more cowbell, when more cowbell is taking a risk. It’s also not how our legal system should work. Our system is designed to shield itself from the emotionalism were seeing today. We should be disturbed by the fact we could charge someone with witchcraft. I hope chauvin does become an example to all police.His behavior is unacceptable. There needs to be reform in how officers behave. I’ve been saying that long before Micheal Brown. But we need our justice system to remain blind. Blind to both the fact the defendant is part of law enforcement, and blind to the wishes of the mob. The whole point of talking about the Salem witch trials is that the mob is really fucking dangerous when they get out of hand.
