Chauvin should get his fair shake, even though he eliminated George's right to have his. America, gotta love it. Chauvin is murdering ass +++++, as was clearly laid out in trial. This juror going on a media blitz to catch fame, after lying to each of the two questions, should be publicly castrated. Seriously fuuuuuuuuck this dude.

That juror rubbed me the wrong way when he came out with public statements almost immediately after the verdict; my first impression was he was clout chasing trying to build up a social media presence.

All those guys did a lot more heinous crap (on a sliding shithead scale of course). Just because he was a police officer it’s like he doesn’t deserve the most basic rights to a fair trial. The hypocrisy is just oozing with your statement. Let’s be honest here, a TRULY impartial jury is almost impossible for high profile cases, especially when there is video evidence that everybody has seen for months leading up to the trail.

No shit. Him saying he accepted his civic responsibility as a means to enact societal change means he had already found the man guilty. +++++ this guy to hell. Even if not declared a mistrial he has given fodder to the it was not a fair trial rhetoric....and in light of his lying ass...that rhetoric has merit now. This filthy cop murdered a man, the case was cut and dry. Fuuuuuuuuuck him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupslam1 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I watched some of the trial. The prosecuting attorney was head and shoulders better than Chauvins defense attorney. If Chauvin had OJs money and defense team he probably would have skated. You can see how poor people that can’t afford an attorney and get stuck with a PD two years out of law school have no chance.

How does a DA two years out of law school screw over poor defendants? Seems that an inexperienced DA would be in their favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean other than the fact that unions routinely get guys fired for cause reinstated with back pay, prevent any kind of accountability, raise police wages to be far above really any comparable government or private sector job, and often hold enough political battles to be able to completely stymie the elected government that pays them Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

The guy they got to defend him was piss poor compared to the prosecuting attorney. Whatever the case it would have taken OJs defense team to get him off.

The guy said that paying dues to a police union "gets you" the union paid attorney (like an insurance policy). Like you pay for an insurance policy. Not that paying union dues "covers your legal costs". Does anyone think that you pay the ENTIRE BENEFIT of an insurance policy? Apparently RSF does.

Which he didnt. The union did. And, in the absence of that, his dues would not have covered the legal costs, saving him shitloads of money and allowing him far better legal representation than he could have otherwise afforded. Thought that was pretty straightforward. Apparently not. You really have been slipping recently. I hope you're ok. I'll say a prayer for you. In the beginning the Universe was created.

You really have been slipping recently. LOL. You actually think that paying union dues is for the purpose of prepaying legal costs?!? Like an installment payment plan?! You are upset that Union members pay dues, in order to have legal representation as insurance? RSF, I realize that you a TCU Graduate (Rich Trust Fund kid), and don't understand how it works for common people, but ask someone to explain insurance policies for you.... This is common with all Unions. Think of Teacher Unions. If a school teacher is accused of doing something wrong, and possibly sued, they go to their Teacher Union, and get the benefit of the legal representation (its like an insurance policy). Do you honestly think that a teacher paying their union dues would pay for the legal costs? Like a teacher can afford that. Man, you are naive about how it is for normal folks.

He paid union dues.... He essentially made an insurance claim, on the Union, and they represented him and got this guy Nelson. Again... this isn't some sort of police corruption. This happens with all unions---like I said, look at Teacher Unions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
