Guilty on all counts. Good. Justice is served. ** -- WahooRQ 04/20/2021 5:06PM
Wow ** -- 81_Hokie 04/20/2021 5:06PM
That was fast. He's toast. ** -- psychobilly 04/20/2021 4:48PM
Agree. feels like an acquittal would take longer, judge would send back -- Capital City Hoo 04/20/2021 5:02PM
Although OJ's took 4 hours. ** -- psychobilly 04/20/2021 5:02PM
Yeah, but the glove didn't fit ** -- Capital City Hoo 04/20/2021 5:06PM
If so, it would be a well deserved toasting -- NJHoo 04/20/2021 4:52PM
Is it part of a rational world to wish death upon people on a message board -- psychobilly 04/20/2021 8:47PM
Agreed. Hard to come up with a scenario that would vindicate Chauvin -- TomGlansAski 04/20/2021 5:04PM
That's my thought too. Hard to believe all jurors could be convinced -- BocaHoo91 04/20/2021 4:51PM
Obviously just a guess, but based on the descriptions of MN statutes on -- 81_Hokie 04/20/2021 4:10PM
I think Murder 2 is 50/50, Murder 3 is 90%, Manslaughter 95%. ** -- Faz d. Hoo 04/20/2021 4:40PM
All 100% now. ** -- SixerHoo 04/20/2021 5:13PM
Well yeah, this was posted 25 minutes before the verdict was announced. ** -- Faz d. Hoo 04/20/2021 5:17PM
Understood. Just pointing out your predictions were pretty good ** -- SixerHoo 04/20/2021 5:22PM
Dumb question:Is the law different for a cop than non-cop on these matters? ** -- HoodatB 04/20/2021 4:38PM
I was thinking specifically of what it takes to be murder 2, which is -- 81_Hokie 04/20/2021 4:47PM
Nope. ** -- SixerHoo 04/20/2021 4:42PM
I’m guessing it’s manslaughter and he gets 5 years and serves 3 ** -- hooshouse 04/20/2021 4:34PM
Agree with this. Murder-3 and Manslaughter-2 seem likely. -- HTrain90 04/20/2021 4:15PM
What kind of time is he looking at for those convictions? ** -- Brown Water 04/20/2021 4:24PM
Max 40 yrs 2nd degree murder, 25 yrs 3rd degree murder, 10 yrs 2nd degree -- SixerHoo 04/20/2021 4:31PM
Maximums are M2=40, M3=25, MS=10. If I remember correctly somebody said -- 81_Hokie 04/20/2021 4:29PM
I think I saw 12.5 years for either murder charge. ** -- Wahoos6 04/20/2021 4:27PM
Guidelines call for 12.5 but guidelines could also call for higher if one -- 81_Hokie 04/20/2021 4:32PM
Imagine if there was no video. ** -- hooshouse 04/20/2021 4:03PM
Then Chauvin would have said Floyd had several guns, was confrontational, -- 81_Hokie 04/20/2021 4:35PM
Heads we win, tails we riot. Which is also a win!!! ** -- ResistHoo 04/20/2021 3:41PM
A comment from the racist simpleton side of you -- EC Hoo 04/20/2021 5:20PM
Derp. ** -- ResistHoo 04/20/2021 5:24PM
Are you talking to the mirror? ** -- EC Hoo 04/20/2021 5:40PM
No, I was derisively mocking your idiotic comment. -- ResistHoo 04/20/2021 5:42PM
Lemme guess. Hung jury? ** -- Seattle .Hoo 04/20/2021 3:37PM
They would deliberate for much longer in that case. ** -- Faz d. Hoo 04/20/2021 4:40PM
Nope ** -- WaxHoo 04/20/2021 4:10PM
That'll be what Klanny and company call for after the results are in. ** -- WahooRQ 04/20/2021 3:52PM
Klanny’s head explodes with anything but acquittal ** -- WaxHoo 04/20/2021 4:14PM
It will mean the terrorists somehow win...... ** -- HoodatB 04/20/2021 4:31PM
And the result will look like a terrorist mistook a loaded diaper champ for -- WahooRQ 04/20/2021 4:16PM
LOL! ** -- WaxHoo 04/20/2021 4:17PM
Can’t reach a verdict with a hung jury can you? ** -- SixerHoo 04/20/2021 3:51PM
No. But it's so hard to convict a cop. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 04/20/2021 3:56PM
Can't imagine a hung jury would be ended so quickly. ** -- Hoodafan 04/20/2021 4:02PM
Maybe not when a bunch of cops testify that you acted well beyond their -- WahooRQ 04/20/2021 3:58PM
Except when the cops turn on their own on their free will. ** -- Blah 04/20/2021 3:58PM
CNN legal analyst says this type of quick verdict likely means -- WahooMatt05 04/20/2021 3:50PM
Except the OJ jury was out less than an hour I think. We know how that -- graycalhoo 04/20/2021 4:04PM
Sure, but there's really nothing about this case that's like that one. ** -- VAGentleman05 04/20/2021 4:20PM
If the gloves don’t fit. That doomed the prosecution case ** -- WaxHoo 04/20/2021 4:11PM
Garcetti doomed it when he put it downtown instead of in Brentwood where -- JMHoo 04/20/2021 4:20PM
So it was race ** -- WaxHoo 04/20/2021 4:22PM
Marcia Clark didn't want Darden to do that. Massive fuck up. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 04/20/2021 4:14PM
Yep. -- WaxHoo 04/20/2021 4:15PM
Yeah and that sumbitch is back out on the street. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 04/20/2021 4:05PM
But at least he's looking for the real killer ** -- LonghornHokie 04/20/2021 4:14PM
Yep. You never know, but prosecution is likely pretty confident right now. ** -- VAGentleman05 04/20/2021 4:00PM
I have not followed it a bit. Just skeptical. Perhaps cynical. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 04/20/2021 3:59PM
Did not follow the trial closely but from what I did it would be hard to -- WahooRQ 04/20/2021 3:57PM
I have to agree. I'm guessing 3rd degree/manslaughter. -- Blah 04/20/2021 4:05PM
That's my guess as well, though I think Murder 2 would be appropriate. ** -- VAGentleman05 04/20/2021 4:13PM
Either way, this will be Derek reflecting on his next few years -- WahooRQ 04/20/2021 4:24PM
IF they are rational people, coming to a guilty verdict after seeing ... -- Blah 04/20/2021 3:57PM
"and he as ring the evidence" ** -- Wahoo Gus 04/20/2021 4:00PM
Wahoo Gus: protecting the world from autocorrect wherever it may appear. ** -- SixerHoo 04/20/2021 4:46PM
Gus - did I hurt your feelings? LOL. Note: I edited the post ... -- Blah 04/20/2021 4:08PM
Your posse usually chimes in.Monkey type that? Yada,yada,blah,blah. ** -- Wahoo Gus 04/20/2021 4:40PM
What posse Gus? Smoke some pot and relax. You need it. ** -- Blah 04/20/2021 5:02PM
No way they give up deliberating this quickly if not yet unanimous. -- SixerHoo 04/20/2021 3:53PM
Seem to remember that theory with the OJ trial. ** -- HoosWillWin 04/20/2021 3:51PM
This fast? No way. ** -- VAGentleman05 04/20/2021 3:48PM
I was a juror on a murder trial once. It doesn't seem that fast... -- LonghornHokie 04/20/2021 3:52PM
I get that, but it takes a long time to hang a jury. ** -- VAGentleman05 04/20/2021 3:54PM
Depends whether you hang them together or separately. ;) ** -- Seattle .Hoo 04/20/2021 4:00PM
Reminiscent of John McKay's quote while coaching Tampa Bay. -- Hoodafan 04/20/2021 4:06PM
LOL! I remember that one. I was riffing on Ben Franklin though. ** -- Seattle .Hoo 04/20/2021 4:08PM
Nevermind - missed the original post. ** -- LonghornHokie 04/20/2021 3:57PM
No. ** -- hooshouse 04/20/2021 3:38PM
Acquittal? ** -- Seattle .Hoo 04/20/2021 3:39PM
Not announced yet. Soon. 4.30** -- Lazarus 04/20/2021 3:39PM
It'd be cooler at 4:20. ** -- Blah 04/20/2021 3:43PM
Appropriate. Chauvin might see his life go up in smoke. ** -- SixerHoo 04/20/2021 3:57PM
Nice Blah, nice. ** -- Lazarus 04/20/2021 3:45PM
