CNN reporting this. Either EMT report or film I would think. Irish_Dem Mar 2021 #6

I could see on the film how he was still kneeling on him when the paramedics put the gurney down Siwsan Mar 2021 #7

He could feel and see the death. The kids watching the murder saw it. Irish_Dem Mar 2021 #11

He was being pathologically and fatally defiant Siwsan Mar 2021 #15

I would like the prosecution to lay out the motivation and or pathology Irish_Dem Mar 2021 #19

He's going to have a hard time proving that, since so much is on video Siwsan Mar 2021 #20

You and me both. Aristus Mar 2021 #14

I agree. Life in prison is more heinous than the death penalty. secondwind Mar 2021 #16

If convicted of the most serious charge (second degree murder) ... 11 Bravo Mar 2021 #39

Minnesota doesn't have the death penalty. WhiskeyGrinder Mar 2021 #10

I know, was just being a smart arse. a kennedy Mar 2021 #13

I thought I read somewhere, probably here, that Chauvin knew Floyd because panader0 Mar 2021 #22

Are they going to try the other officers who did nothing spooky3 Mar 2021 #26
