I'm hoping that Chauvin gets tossed in Oak Park Heights but if he's let off then the city will burn, and deservedly so.

Admittedly, LA elite knew that if they didn’t acquit, then they would have to call in the tanks again like last time.

Lol I was in 8th grade and hella pissed when OJ got off because he was obviously guilty of murder. It wasn't until later that I realized how brilliant the defense was because they managed to get across to the jury that letting OJ off would be a big gently caress you to the LAPD.

chauvin did kinda get off because he wasn't convicted of first degree murder, which is what any non-cop would be convicted of immediately if they went to trial where the evidence features a video of them in broad daylight choking a handcuffed person for 9 minutes.

I thought murder 1 had to be premeditated?

chauvin "meditated" for 8 minutes and 46 seconds

Idk, my law degree is from drunk-watching 90's-era episodes of Law & Order (because Lenny was the only good cop) but I think murder 2 is murder in comission of a felony so the charges feel appropriate.
