ohhh thank you, I thought they didn't know who was going to make up the final 12.
The last one on this list (#131 male) was dropped in the beginning, the top two per Minnesota (IIRC they do in order) will be dropped from deliberations, and have to come to court and read a book or ??? during deliberations. MOO. In case they are needed.
No. 96: White woman, 50s
She described herself as an animal lover who is passionate about advocacy for affordable housing and homelessness. She told the court said she recently resigned from her customer service-related job. The juror noted she feels like she is good at de-escalating conflicts and getting both sides to come together for a resolution.
She said she had seen video clips of the bystander video a few times and is also aware of the $27 million settlement.
In her questionnaire, she wrote that the restraint used on Floyd was “ultimately responsible” for his death, but under questioning she acknowledged that was her assumption based on what she had seen. She acknowledged the video may not show the entirety of what happened.
No. 118: White woman, 20s
The juror is a social worker who has relatives who are nurses.
In her line of work, she's had to call the police to remove unruly people. When asked by the prosecution if she's ever seen someone not comply with the police, she said she has not. Schleicher, the prosecutor, wondered if she would blame a person who doesn't comply with police for injuries resulting from a police encounter. She said everyone needs to be treated with respect even if they are suspected of a crime.
She disagrees with defunding police, but under questioning about police reform said that “there are good things and things that should be changed.”
The juror said she’s discussed the case with family members, including one who said they thought Chauvin should not have kept his knee on Floyd's neck for that long.
She said her decision regarding a verdict would not affect her relationship with family and she wouldn't feel the need to justify it. She said she's curious to hear more about police training that may have influenced how the encounter unfolded.
No. 131: White man, 20s
He described himself as an accountant and a sports fan. When asked by Schleicher about his opinion on athletes who “take a knee” during the national anthem, the man said, “I would prefer if someone would express their beliefs in a different manner. But I understand what they are trying to do and raise the dialogue on certain issues.”
The man said that after watching the bystander video from May 25, 2020, he felt like Chauvin’s use of force lasted too long.
He said he generally believes racial minorities are treated unfairly by the criminal justice system.
He strongly disagrees with the notion of defunding the Minneapolis Police Department. “I believe the force is a necessary and integral part of our society,” he said.
