So two days in, it is clear Chauvin's team is using the "HOW DARE HE" defense.

[Stinky The Clown]

How dare he die under Chauvin's gently and fairly applied knee.





Clearly the defense team has nothing.

1. They have to make it look like they've earned their dime.

2. At this point Chauvin's only hope is to take the stand, apologize profusely, break down sobbing,

lay the blame on his parents and upbringing, point the finger at racist police culture and training, then abjectly throw himself on the mercy of the jury. You never know, it could spare him from doing a long stretch in prison.

3. or there will be a crazy efwad racist juror who won't vote to convict. Happens all the time.

4. That's what I'm afraid of.

BTW, that's what I'm also afraid of if the former guy ever goes to trial.
