Ths from Roy W. Spencer

I have no strong opinions on Derek Chauvin's guilt or innocence in the death of George Floyd, but the latest testimony in the trial is very revealing. If you are willing to move beyond the widely-viewed video which suggested Chauvin's knee was on Floyd's neck (turns out even witnesses for the prosecution now admit it wasn't), read this legal analysis of the latest testimonies. Sounds to me like Chauvin will be found not guilty. It doesn't really matter, though, because -- either way -- I suspect Chauvin is a dead man walking. And the riots will commence in 3... 2...

Tim adds:

The person driving this is Minnesota Attorney General Keith "There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet" Ellison, so I suspect the GOAL is to have rioting. Ellison is a radical leftwing extremist. He intervened to get the charges upped against Chauvin, knowing full well that they could not make it stick.

This is a lose/lose situation. If Chauvin is found guilty a travesty of justice will have occurred. If he is acquitted there will be rioting. Either way is a loser from the perspective of civil society. Ellison knew that when he pushed for overcharging.
