40. Many pieces to this case had to be put together in order for the jury

to get an accurate picture of what happened to Mr. Floyd. It was the defense story’s job to counter that narrative as best they could, given all the horrifying evidence against Chauvin. So many people worked together to bring a case that the jury could decide without days and weeks of deliberations. Sounds to me like the prosecution did an outstanding job, along with all the supporting players so the jury didn’t have too much of a struggle to convict on all counts.

And we all breathed a huge sigh of relief and comfort that maybe now George Floyd can Rest In Peace.
