Yesterday we had the closing arguments in the Derek Chauvin trial for the murder of George Floyd

and now the case is with the jury.

Now if the jury is going to render a just verdict,

one that is consistent with the facts and the evidence presented during trial,

they would come back with not guilty on all three counts.

But unfortunately, I do not believe that the jury is going to be capable of ignoring all the emotion

and everything that is going on and render a just verdict.

So there's going to be a lot of pressure on a number of jurors to convict.

The question is, will a conviction be unanimous, which of course is what is required in order to convict,

or will there be a few jurors who hold out for a just verdict despite all of the external pressures for a conviction?

Now of course, if there really was justice in this case, there wouldn't even be a trial.

Because based on the evidence, there never should have been a prosecution.

Because the government is not supposed to prosecute somebody that they don't actually believe committed a crime.

And there is no way that you could objectively look at this evidence and conclude that Chauvin is guilty of murder.

In fact, all you have to do is look at the autopsy report that was prepared by Dr. Baker.

And Dr. Baker is the single most important medical witness in this case.

None of the other doctors that the prosecution called, I think you completely disregard everything that they're saying because they're hired guns.

And even if they weren't hired, they're guns. They're people who are trying to make a name for themselves by being one of the good guys and showing that they're not racist by blaming this death on Chauvin and his knee and exphyxiation.

And in fact, I think that it's even a mistrial and there's so many different ways for a appeal on this case.

But that's one of them in that the prosecution is putting witness after witness after witness up on that stand to basically say the exact same thing.

I mean, why do you need so many medical experts to all say that Floyd died of exphyxiation?
