‘I Didn’t Want to Go Through the Rioting’: Juror in Chauvin Trial Makes Stunning Admission over ‘Guilty’ Verdict

On Tuesday, a jury found Derek Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in a case that had sparked nationwide riots: The death of George Floyd.

During the course of the trial, Judge Peter Cahill mentioned that the court case was getting dangerously close to mistrial. A new interview with an alternate juror named Lisa Christensen, who lives in Brooklyn Center, provides new insight into the courtroom dynamics.

    We all know Chauvin had no chance. Maybe they could move the appeal trial to a red state with Castle laws.

      Good point, don't know if they can do this or not.

    And there is the reason for a mis-trial.

    I have little doubt that the verdict will be overturned on appeal. There is no shortage of evidence showing the jury was coerced by their fear. The real question being whether or not there will be a retrial and if so WHERE it might happen.

      If it's overturned doesn't it have to be a retrial?

    'Evidence is irrelevant anytime I feel threatened by anybody with the brainpower of 70 IQ.'

    Well, that is an intriguing legal theory.

    PS:
    I quit televisionprogramming after I watched an episode of the Arsenio Hall variety show sometime around a couple-three decades ago.
    To express their approval, the Hall audience raised-lowered their hands repeatedly while shouting 'hoot hoot'.

    I don't care to be insulted, and televisionprogramming has a tendency to do that.
    Nor do I care to be in the company of idjits.
