It started up, and I would assume that this will take a while.
Every single detail of your life will be laid out in front of the prosecutor and defense folks.....your education, your family situation, your view of the police, your view of drugs, your ability to comprehend, your judgement capability, your financial background, and even your disposition on racism.
Frankly, on a dozen levels....if I were called up for 'duty'....I'd just say it's better that I not answer your questions, and just 'fire' me from the the process in the first minute.
The potential for threats...even five years after the case ends? I could easily see some idiots getting my name and address....then trying to mess with him for pay-back.
My own judgement? The minute you introduce some character who is a regular user of fentanyl....I'm finished with nice-guy feelings or giving people a chance. I'd be the wrong person on that jury.
The intention here with the process? The prosecutor wants to line up a dozen people, and have one particular 'Alpha-person' who is willing to hype racism and anti-police toward the end of the whole case....leading the jury to a conviction. The defense is looking for a 'Alpha-person' who is anti-drug, and pro-police....to hype their case at the end.
What I'll predict? Two end-results possible: full acquittal (innocent), or a hung jury (probably 10-2). Maybe if this were a 2nd degree manslaughter situation (not a charge), you might be able to say the one particular policeman did the knee stuff wrong....but since it's in the training manual....even that is a problem on conviction.
So, prepare for a circus, and for riots to occur at the conclusion. Whole lot more looting to occur.
Mister Floyd was a suicide.
ReplyDeleteMister Floyd accomplished his suicide by inserting a massive overdose of illegal drugs into his colon.
Mister Floyd compounded his suicide by ingesting a massive overdose of alcoholic beverages.
Mister Floyd accomplished his suicide while committing crimes against his neighbors and against his community.
According to the videos I examined, First Responders did everything right to prolong the life of Mister Floyd... but there is no dissuading anybody intent on suicide.
And 'yes', the rioters will continue to enforce the exodus of productive individuals from cities... leaving a core of worthless eaters with zero-zero-zero skills except perhaps as new recruits into a standing army to secure the new wall (aka 'Great Wall') around worshington district of columbia (aka 'Imperial City').
