Rust Martialis posted:The thing is we're all expecting Chauvin to still get acquitted somehow regardless of the evidence, aren't we? But you can still judge whether a lawyer is good or not, regardless of whether the jury convicts or not. A lawyer can do a great job and still lose a case or a terrible job and still win it depending on the case and the jury.

happyhippy posted:Chauvin faces 3 charges, second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter. What's the difference between 2nd degree and 3rd degree murder?

Edgar Allen Ho posted:2nd is unpremeditated best of the moment, 3rd is felony murder or murder where you just had callous disregard and didn’t think “Imma kill this guy” How is that different from manslaughter? EDIT: I should have scrolled down. Lots of answers.

Nelson Mandingo posted:I suspect if Chauvin skates any charges it'll be murder 2, but I think murder 3 and or manslaughter are pretty much a given with how the police chiefs testified against him. Out of anything and the video and facts itself I think that sealed his fate. You can be convicted for more than one of these? I would have thought being convicted of one, precludes be convicted of the others.

There is a Supreme Court decision that establishes that the police have no obligation to prevent a crime from taking place. Charlz Guybon fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Apr 21, 2021 |

Clarste posted:The police's job is to arrest people who have committed crimes, not to stop crimes from being committed. Stopping crimes is totally optional and the equivalent of being a Good Samaritan. Couldn't this be changed with legislation?

The state has asked for 30 years. The defense has asked for time served. https://www.npr.org/sections/trial-...ge-floyd-murder

Can the prosecution of those other officers point to this, or would that not be allowed?
