More Proof The Chauvin Case Was A Farce

As jurors begin the process of cashing in on fame and fortune, one of the twelve tasked with interpreting three weeks of intricate, conflicting evidence – a process that would determine a man’s freedom or incarceration – claimed that the verdicts could have come back in about twenty minutes. The only holdup was helping a single jurist (who is praying their identity isn’t revealed) decipher one aspect of jury instructions. That’s twenty minutes minus however long that sidebar lasted, which equates to the total time being spent in deliberation – on three separate counts. This is not only a true miscarriage of justice, it is the height of moral and intellectual stupidity.
Setting aside whether or not the correct verdict was reached – which on its own merits is hard to do – how does this latest revelation sit well with anyone that values due process, objectivity, and standing legal procedures? Such apathy for truth is as disheartening as it is alarming. Who among us welcomes the day when we have a questionable charge brought before us and the jury is indifferent to our fate? Yesterday it was a Canadian court arresting a father for misgendering his daughter and today it was Derek Chauvin facing two insane murder charges. It is frightening to think what a court might find us guilty of tomorrow.
Prior to the juror’s revelations, it was still hard to imagine that Derek Chauvin was going to receive an impartial and open-minded jury by holding the trial in the backyard of the George Floyd riots. The same people that voted for a 13-0 leftist majority on the Minneapolis city council, sent Ilhan Omar to Congress, and ushered in Keith Ellison as Attorney General of the whole state weren’t going to be waving Blue Lives Matter flags anytime soon. The same people who ultimately voted to convict Chauvin on all three charges had already witnessed their city burn for months and were repeatedly reminded it would burn again. But no, this juror says none of these considerations impacted their impartiality. Right.
