Exactly. Plus it is a racially mixed jury. They found him guilty. The only question is if it is on all counts. I bet it is.

Well that was the point of them moving the trial to that particular town. It all but guaranteed the not guilty verdict.

This is why we need more diversity in all parts of life. Having all white people make decisions doesn't bode well for the rest of society. Racially mixed usually means different perspectives, different experiences and different opinions. This is a good thing.

10 hours deliberation is probably bad for Chauvin is my guess. Could be wrong obviously.

I am not sure how the law or facts change based on who is hearing it.

I agree. I think the manslaughter charge would be fair. But I'm betting murder 2 because the jurors don't want to be murdered or blamed for mass riots.

White jurors have to go along with whatever black jurors say, or they'll be called racist....

Since they were able to reach a verdict, it sounds like a compromise was made. Likely Murder 3 or Manslaughter 2.

Seems Murder 2 and acquittal wouldn't have involved a compromise. We'll see soon enough.

We don't have any idea, and likely won't, about who voted which way, however this works out.
