Biden 'praying' for Chauvin conviction; evidence 'overwhelming'
By Morgan Chalfant - 04/20/21 12:14 PM EDT
President Biden said Tuesday that he believes the evidence is “overwhelming†in the case against the former Minneapolis police officer accused of murdering George Floyd, making clear that he believes the verdict should be guilty.
“I'm praying the verdict is the right verdict,†Biden said in remarks to reporters in the Oval office. “I think it’s overwhelming in my view.â€
Biden made the comments as the jury deliberated whether to convict Derek Chauvin, the former police officer who knelt on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes last summer.
Biden said he wouldn’t have weighed in on the case if the jury had not been sequestered.

That Floyd had in his system 3X the amount of fentanyl that would kill a fentanyl-"naive" person is rather overwhelming, though probably not in the sense LIEden and The SHill mean.
-
Not too worried about the pro-abortion Catholic Biden’s prayers being answered the way he wants them to be.
-
Very irresponsible. First, the evidence is not overwhelming or a conviction
Secondly, you don’t just demand a conviction because you think it should happened

White House Refuses to Explain What Biden Meant by ‘Right Verdict’ in Derek Chauvin Trial
Charlie Spiering 20 Apr 2021
White House press secretary Jen Psaki repeatedly refused to concede Tuesday that President Joe Biden pre-judged the Derek Chauvin trial by saying he was “praying†for the “right verdict.â€
“I’m praying the verdict is the right verdict. Which is – I think it’s overwhelming in my view,†Biden told reporters earlier Tuesday.
Several reporters questioned Psaki about Biden’s comments about the trial, asking her to clarify exactly what the president believed was the “right verdict.â€
Psaki refused to acknowledged that Biden wanted Chauvin to be found guilty, even after he suggested the evidence in the case was “overwhelming.â€
“He’s certainly not looking to influence,†Psaki said, referring to the case which is currently under deliberation from a jury.
She said the jury was sequestered during deliberation, which was why Biden felt comfortable commenting on the case.
“We’re not trying to provide greater information about predictions of a verdict, we want to leave that to a jury,†Psaki said.
Despite several attempts by reporters to clarify Biden’s comments, Psaki repeated several versions of a prepared statement, noting Biden spoke with George Floyd’s family members on Monday and felt their struggle.
Biden, she explained, “was obviously impacted by his conversation by the Floyd family yesterday as somebody who has lived through loss and trauma himself.â€

So inappropriate for the Chief Executive to inject opinions into a trial such as this, especially with tensions so incredibly high. Then, there is the matter of impasse, a hung jury. His comments have the potential to corrupt a retrial. He is a halfwit and declining.

Dementia Joe is pure evil. Perhaps even the anti-Christ and certainly the worst president in history.

I object to your slur of halfwits. Biden doesn't approach being a halfwit. Quarterwit maybe.
