I Can't Even Post About What Will Happen If Closet Klan Juror Let's Him Off

[DanieRains]

I sure wouldn't want to be a cop.

I think I can say that.

Hard to imagine how bad IT WILL BE.

No one is even talking about it on the news.

Scary.

1. chill out. nt

3. I'm In Seattle

Nothing ever happens here.

We good.

[Celerity]

10. 'Nothing ever happens here'

You are having a laugh, no?

[rampartc]

2. i expect a hung jury

an acquittal is only acceptable if there is something obvious wrong with the tape

manslaughter is possible i think, and i'd settle for a lesser charge (assault or maybe battery) with a maximum penalty

i am not worried about the citizens rioting, so much as the trump nuts pulling another false flag attack.

4. I Think That's Why They Added 3rd Degree

An out and still homicide.

[rampartc]

5. there will be a negotiation in the jury room

and unless the dissenting jurors are outright "boogaloo bois" 3rd degree will get them back to home.

[rampartc]

7. obviously, if the video is shown to be a "deep fake" or some other woo all bets are off

the rwnjs are floating this now

6. I expect a conviction. This case is cut and dry if there ever was one.

9. I said the same thing about the murder of Trayvon Martin

and we know how that turned out. I hope this jury is more open to facts.

[Takket]

12. There was no video of the murder in the Martin case. This is

Much more conclusive.

8. A dunderhead deplorable wouldn't have enough nerve to sit at the jury

room deliberation table, look the other 11 jurors in the eye, and give one reason why this killer cop should go free.

11. Question: I haven't watched (at work) but have seen a few video clips. Is jury being SHOWN on TV?

I worry that jurors identified may feel intimidated for safety issues... Are they being shown in a way that allows them to be identified?

[mobeau69]

13. No.

[PJMcK]

15. No, the jury's identities are being protected

This is from a broader article about the trial on Vox:

Even though the jury selection process was broadcasted live, the faces of the prospective jurors were not shown to the public for their safety and privacy, and they will not be seen for the duration of the trial. Among the 15 selected jurors, we do know six are people of color — one Black woman, three Black men, and two mixed-race women — while nine are white, six of whom are women. Despite being a white majority, the jury is actually more diverse than the county and the city: According to 2019 data from the US Census Bureau, Hennepin County is about 74 percent white and 14 percent Black while Minneapolis is about 64 percent white and 19 percent Black.

14. Do you have some basis for assuming that's possible?

You're assuming the prosecution doesn't know how to interview jurors?

[USALiberal]

18. You are assuming they got every juror they wanted! Nt

[Treefrog]

16. There's a closet Klan juror?

I haven’t been following the case so far so when did this happen?

[MoonRiver]

17. My question also.

19. I hope not as that helps no one.
