he was found GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY!

The thing everyone should think about is, that shouldn't be reason to celebrate, because that should have been the result EXPECTED for the murder we all saw. Not something cheered because for once justice was served.

We should not have been wondering right up to the second the judge said "on the charge of". But we were.

The look on Chauvin's face as he was kneeling on Mr. Floyd's neck was hauntingly evil - TBH I wish I'd never seen it, but it needed to be seen... by the whoe world.

Question:
Who was sitting to Chauvin's left as the Judge was reading the verdict? That murderer was repeatedly giving the stink-eye to someone - or more than one person if that's where the jury was sitting.

I hope he gets the maximum sentence.
I hope he gets stuck with menacing cell-mates.
