Medical experts captured jurors' attentions as they explained anatomy and complex bodily processes. Others sparred with attorneys or offered jurors unique perspectives that challenged prior testimony.

@not me wdym, i think everyone by now knows whites die from cops too, difference is that it’s not racist it’s just forgotten like Daniel shaver and others and the cops are not held accountable
@not me so you think I only believe racism only exists to white people and that I’m conservative who rioted the capital. If we are just gonna assume rather than debate than we can just end off here

Defense: “my client only gave the defendant a knee to neck massage.”
Jury: “your client is about to experience what it’s like to have a daily knee to neck massage in gen pop.”
2:46 if Derrick Chauvin’s use of force was in line with his training then it’s high time that such flawed training be scrapped or revised before more lives are taken away in the hands of uninformed beasts.
That is the rational conclusion
This man was awesome and respectable he was fantastic
Critical moment was when the judge mentioned appeal.
Never happen.
Let’s hear it for George Kirby!
Alright everyone, Let’s go Rioting in the streets and prove that any decision is a wrong decision.
They jailed a murderer, what are you on about?
I need some new Nikes
Thought that was what the capitol riots were for.
Oh, just stay in your mama’s basement.
@Xaviotes Harris LOL I’m at your moms
I wonder if holding a knee to the kneck while pulling on someones arms would be legal in the UFC. Or if the ref would call the fight?
Terrible anaology
all 140 lbs of the guy
Only if ones white
Actually, the UFC would call the fight long before because the person on the bottom wasn’t defending, only being attacked.
That use of force ‘expert’ seems have no more common sense than a layman. I wonder why our court can accept such witnesses. Can anybody become witness, especially in such am important trial? How he slips through?
Forgot the part when Georgie said “I ate too many drugs.” Or was that intentionally left out? Or when his drug dealer refused to go onto the stand.
that was corrected, he said I ain’t do no drugs.racist mad right now, you mad too
you’re not smart enough to hide who you are
In trial, the defense attorney admitted there was no way to know for certain what was said without a proper analysis. Of course, he had no time to do such a thing. He presented argument to the judge to bar the prosecution from having it analyzed and presented. Judged ruled….you said ….i ate to many…..they said…..i ain’t do no drugs…..let the jury decide.
Tobin or not Tobin, that’s the question! Luckily there were.
Yes✝️🕊️
They should know he’s guilty the neck is one of the most sensitive part of the humain being you can cut somebody throat he survive but you cut somebody neck there is no chances for him to survive
You can’t take that much fentanyl either genius…George was dead cop or no cop
@4840512030 lol stay mad 😝
No riots was the verdict of the woke american justice system..
