I think it depends if any of the jurors are leaning perhaps in the direction of looking for a reason to acquit-- if any of them are skeptical of the prosecution's case.

According to the pool reporter, both the Floyd & Chauvin family seats are taken today.
Pool reporter also notes that jurors all appeared to be paying close attention during the judge’s instructions. Some took notes or followed along with their copies…
The pool reporter wrote that when Steve Schleicher said George Floyd’s final words, he pointed directly at Derek Chauvin in the courtroom. Chauvin did not react.

It will take more than one seed to fill over 9 minutes, imo.
If it happened fast, I could see a doubt. But he was on GF for so long and it looked so willful.
If he had rendered aid, I could see a doubt. But he rendered no aid.
Officers from his own force found his actions wrong. No seeds there.

For those of you that use twitter and maybe don't know... this is law and crime's 'verdict' account. If you follow and turn on notifications, you will get notified on your phone/computer when a verdict is in. I just checked to make sure I still had it and had it turned on.

@Niner . I will be leaving for an MRI in about an hour. Hope someone can post Cathy Russon tweets.It lasted about 1 hour & 45 minutes - by my timing.
He would have to plant a seed in each of the 3 charges. Pros. proved training/lack of use of training, use of tactics not authorized, no drug overdose, risk vs. threat, not resisting when unconscious. Hard to disprove any of this. That said, if there was no video, I think we would be looking at a hung jury.......not that I would believe it but....

I had a thought- don't want to be picky--- but I wonder if the prosecutor should have talked about GF saying the could not breathe before he was taken onto the ground. Perhaps he should have stated that GF was anxious, claustrophobic and was having a problem breathing--- now maybe the defense will bring that up and the pros. will address it in rebuttal if that is the case.
Watching him, maybe that wasn’t a good idea?Chauvin took his mask off

She isn't tweeting much. I'll stick around for the defense closing - and when the jury go out to deliberate...

#DerekChauvinTrial - Prosecution initial closing argument has concluded. Judge calls for a break before defense begins. There will be another break after defense and before state rebuttal closing.
Pool reporter notes: woman who appears to be white and has light brown hair that falls just below her shoulders is in Chauvin supporter seat.
#GeorgeFloyd supporter seat: Philonise Floyd. He is wearing a blue checkered suit.
