probably questioning if they want to start with the Chief in sidebar.

Done for the day. Wowsers. That was full on peoples

This witness has shown that there was actual ongoing training about what not to do to someone in custody. And Chauvin decided to do those things, anyway, despite knowing it could cause death, i.e., keeping him handcuffed while in prone position. And that doesn’t even include kneeing the person’s neck!

Murder.

This question is to everyone....

Does the above quoted testimony info meet the 2nd degree murder requirements?

 

[FinalGirl]

Not sure why the defence is trying to portray Chauvin as being in a fight for his life. There is video evidence.

i can't get over no admonition to the jury over the long weekend. This judge certainly operates in a different manner than other trials I have watched.

#DerekChauvinTrial - Under cross Nelson asks if Zimmerman would agree that the use of force is based on a lot of information and not necessarily everything captured on body cam footage. Zimmerman agreed.


#DerekChauvinTrial - Under redirect Zimmerman agrees that it's well known that the prone position is dangerous.


Zimmerman is done and JURY IS EXCUSED until Monday morning

In my opinion: not by itself.
Not Unintentional 2nd degree anyway, because death has to have occurred as the result of a felony, which is 3rd degree assault in this case, meaning "serious bodily harm"
Said felony does need intent, so they would have to prove intent to cause serious bodily harm, which I think they have not yet.

We're way into 3rd degree territory though. 2.25 if you will.

Lt Zimmerman was SO much better than any scripted "use of force expert"

I think state got great points in on redirects both days. That last statement will be ringing in jury’s mind all weekend

Thanks everyone for your posts.

Like Chauvin, he is not reassessing the current situation and readjusting his strategy?

I too am surprised at such, especially in such a high profile case. I always thought this was standard. MOO

Top of the "Use of force continuum POLICY and training"

1) Your presence as LE
2) Verbal skills
3) Soft technique e.g. escort to your LE vehicle
4) Hard technique e.g. handcuffs or mace
5) DEADLY FORCE
