christmas boots posted:Yeah, every piece I'm hearing about the trial makes it sound more and more damning for for Chauvin so on the one hand I think the establishment might be wiling to throw him to the wolves to "prove" that BLM accomplished what it set out to do. OTOH it's going to be extremely funny* when they make it as obvious as humanly possible that he's guilty and he still walks and it's going to break so many brains permanently in both directions. Is Police Chief 'establishment'? Cause I'm liking this guy he's just 2 minutes ago made the point very well that 'an unconscious person is not reasonably a threat'. That witness period may honestly have just swung the case, the prosecutors have been dogshit so far but that was strong as gently caress.

IIRC Chief is one rank under Deputy Commissioner so to use The Wire (which never mentioned "chief", I think) I think only Burrell and (eventually Rawls and Valcheck) outrank it.

Vitamin P posted:Jury selection isn't a big deal it's normal, what's hosed up is their actions after that. The EMT lady was very obviously put on the stand without being given any guidance. The only reason they put her on the stand was so they could get her video introduced into evidence. Without her there to say ya that's my video they can't use it. But ya she was terrible as a witness herself.

Okay that makes way more sense, insane that they seem not to have prepped her though and it's a theme, the prosecution called two expert witnesses and for one the defence cross was longer than the direct because the witness was apparently helping the defence more than the prosecution, for the second the defence has literally called the prosecution witness back to be a witness again but for the defence this time. In terms of winning the trial the big question is 'was it the knee or the drugs that killed Floyd', with a secondary question of the circumstances, and I absolutely get the defence were always going to present the bystanders as being a threatening mob but why bring those people on to try and humanise them/establish that they weren't a threat if you aren't also going to coach them to not give dogshit answers? Obviously you can't predict a jury but just from the prosecution period Chauvin isn't getting murder, it'll be manslaughter at best.

The message of this is if you want any form of justice to be done, you have to raise the stakes high enough that they have to relent.

I normally like his posts but thats a pretty sad thing to do, like, literally more pathetic than just voting Biden. Glad to see Chauvin convicted, but honestly think convicting the other officers would be more important/impactful, and I really doubt that'll happen.
