So the Qanon loonies think he's an imposter.

QAnon supporters react to Derek Chauvin sentence: "not the same guy from the trial"

If they had any brains they'd realize he never took off his mask or spoke during the trial so of course he looks different.

Derek Chauvin’s booking photo. Expected release date is listed as: 12/10/2035

But it is not a new photo but a previous one.

The ridiculous conspiracy theorists seemed to have permeated into most aspects of life. I find it exhausting.

Long wait until next trial:
Factbox: After Chauvin sentencing, charges remain for ex-officers in Floyd case

Tou Thao, J. Alexander Kueng and Thomas Lane, all of whom were fired and arrested days after Floyd died last May, are due to face trial in March 2022 on state charges that they aided and abetted second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter of Floyd.

Any clue as to what Chauvin was referring to here?

“I want to give my condolences to the Floyd family,” Chauvin said, adding that he was not able to “give a full, formal statement” because of “some additional legal matters at hand.” He ended on a cryptic note.

Just another way for him to get out of taking responsibility. It’s also his way of controlling the situation, like all narcissists like to do. Like he was controlling Floyd. And leaving you hanging, with the message to come back to him to find out more. It’s called baiting. Another thing narcissists do. Huh, I guess that makes DC a narcissist.

I think DC is like "bouc émissaire" . And also about OJ Simpson : no justice .

Thanks for googling the English definition @dixiegirl1035. I have to ask the OP…for whom would DC be a scapegoat? He was the only one kneeling on GF’s neck for 9+ minutes. Surely the OP isn’t blaming GF for his own death?

Scapegoat= A person who is blamed for the wrongdoings, mistakes, or faults of others, especially for reasons of expediency.

Third-degree murder back into play for 3 cops in George Floyd killing

July 1, 2021
The three former Minneapolis police officers charged in George Floyd's death could face third-degree murder charges following a recent court ruling.

The Minnesota Court of Appeals issued an order Wednesday reversing a District Court judge's order denying a request from prosecutors to add third-degree murder charges against J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao.

The Court of Appeals ruling sends the prosecution's request back to Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill for reconsideration and allows him to hear more arguments from both sides before deciding whether to add the count in the three cases.

Paraphrasing ....

Lola Velazquez-Aguilu - who built the medical case that played a key role in helping to convict Derek Chauvin - is one of three finalists to be the next US attorney for Minnesotta.

Ms Velazquez-Aguilu never set foot in the courtroom, but she played a key role, which includes finding the expert witness who was crucial to the prosecution's case - the pulmonologist (Tobin) who had studied and written about the mechanics of breathing.

“She weighed in on literally everything. … Nobody got to see what she did, but it was as good a performance from a lawyer as I’ve ever seen in my life.”

Her mother had been a police officer in Madison WI, she had grown up around police and is acutely aware of split minute decisions that officers have to make.
She is also aware of another side of the policing - her dad who was a social activist lost a thumb when he was beaten by NYC police when he was 14 years old.

“Causation was going to be a problem. We knew we needed to not just try to show what did kill George Floyd, but also debunk things that certainly did not kill him”
Ms Velazquez-Aguilu, who works as in-house counsel for a medical technology firm, was integral in doing just that.

She spent her off hours and weekends building the case, often sleeping as little as 2-3 hours a night.
She helped prep the witnesses, and prepared long outlines for the courtroom attorneys to use in direct examination.
She has a really sensible, pragmatic middle-of-the road approach that is really admired.

Lola Velazquez-Aguilu built the medical case that was key in helping convict Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd. Now she’s in contention to be the next U.S. attorney for Minnesota.
