Judge in Floyd case opens door for an acquital.

The only thing that could make at least some people re-think what the video showed would be if it can be demonstrated that Floyd's neck was not seriously injured by the knee.

There was no neck injury that I'm aware of.
I have no info myself, just saying (neutrally) that it would be necessary to make that plain if opinions are to be changed.
 
Minnesota opened the door to acquittal by paying millions to the family suggesting guilt.

It's worse than that. They are having a hard time finding jurors because they fear for their safety and lives if they find the officer was not guilty. That means the only people willing to take a juror position is one who's mind is already made up about the case as guilty.

This case should have been sent to some small remote town somewhere on the other side of the country where lowlifes are much less of a threat to jurors.
 
Of course prior criminal history should be considered....just as a lack of a prior history should be considered.

In a criminal court case the jury is not supposed to know the record of the accused, that way they can come to a fair conclusion about the case instead of the persons life. In this instance it's the police record of the supposed victim, and I can't see why it shouldn't be allowed.

If a person has been arrested 100 times...and this is 101, that is relevant information to me about the likelihood the crime was committed.

A 75 year old man arrested for assault who has never had so much as a traffic ticket in his life is less likely to commit and assault than a 29 year old who has already been arrested 35 times. To me it is totally relevant.

It's questionable whether it's relevant or not. I mean, nobody is questioning whether Floyd was guilty of a crime, nor is anybody questioning the dangerous narcotics he loaded into his system. Passing counterfeit money is a federal offense, and they have the phony bill as evidence. So even if his record were allowed in the trial, I can't see that it would make a difference one way or another.

In this particular case, it may not matter. I dont see why people should freak out that the jury will be informed of his prior record.

Floyd’s prior record is irrelevant to the actions the cop is accused of.

The judge didnt think so.
 
If Mr. Floyd was a known violent nogoodnik, why shouldn't this information be heard by the 12 angry men assembled? Mr. Chauven in on trial for his life, is it more important to convict him guilty or not, or to get it right?

Well, the question of whether or not Chauvin is responsible for Floyd's death is not impacted at all by past criminal activity on the part of Floyd.

His past can certainly be used to show a pattern and that his arrest was likely justified, but that's all it can do. Furthermore, if the cop was unaware of that criminal past, he cannot say it impacted his actions.

Floyd would be dead whether or not he had a criminal past...
 
After what the FBI-DOJ-Hillary got away with, I don't have any faith in our justice system. So some facts are that Floyd was a lowlife with little or no redeeming value. Floyd was loaded with drugs and defective body parts that could have killed him. Chauvin looked like a smart ass who disregarded all the onlookers that were warning him that Floyd wasn't moving. Chauvin kept his knee on the neck long after Floyd was subdued. So what does that mean legally? So that all brings us back to a broken justice system that makes judgements based on race, public opinion, party, money, connections and many other things that aren't any part of our laws. In the end, nobody really knows what these legal outlaws will decide

The problem with what took place there is that kneeling on the neck is typical police procedure and taught in many academies. I used to be an avid viewer of the show COPS and seen police officers from all around the country use that technique to subdue violent or out of control criminals all the time.

Besides his terrible medical condition, Floyd had several illegal drugs in his system, and the fentanyl alone was beyond a deadly level.

It was common (no so much any more). The issue is he remained on the neck of a dying man for 9 minutes.

DId Chauven even know the great African American was dying ?
 
How will OBiden and Kramalot Harris handle this. Shit Holes on Fire.

Ok. I give a long article and don't expect you to read it.

In my own words the judge is NOW ALLOWING evidence from Floyd's previous arrest. A carbon copy from the first except he didn't get up this time.

The judge reversed this decision sharply 90 degrees.

THERE: You don't have to read it now
And? Is there anything in the video that shows Floyd being a danger in any way to the officers?
 
What happens if he is acquitted? My guess is all hell breaks loose again around the country. If this should occur, expect Joe to back the police just as Don did, further exacerbating the unrest.
Around the world.

Everyone is looking for justice in this case.

Every. One.
If you think that means a guilty verdict is in, you need to think again.

The negro who wrote the article is in a panic. They know Saint George is a fraud and was a career criminal and drug addict.

He’s frightened that the jury, and America as a whole may come to realize that Black Criminal Lives Don’t Matter.
