He can't be convicted of 2nd degree, because he didn't show up with the intent of committing another crime....That's what 2nd degree murder is.
As big of a total douchebag that Ellison is, he can't be this stupid.
It only takes a minute beforehand for premeditation to occur. Chauvin obviously thought about murder a lot during those 8 minutes on his neck.
What is premeditated and deliberate conduct?

He pretty clearly not only had time to think about the fact that he didn't give a damn if the guy lived or died, but actually DID think about it, since you can hear people on the video suggesting he should get off the guy, and him refusing.
