There's a presumption of innocence because that's part of the justice system of the United States. You have to prove guilt. He's not presumed guilty because he's white, that only works in liberal land.

And that goes for George Floyd to. He's presume innocent, at least in theory...

You can find all of their home addresses online.

The left normalized violence and riots as mostly peaceful protests. How could anyone with their real name used in court not at least tip toe to the mob?

This trial is such a hot potato that the mob is getting ready to destroy no matter the verdict.

I would not want to be a store owner anywhere near that city.

Exactly, I was thinking this too. Seems like the testimonies from the professionals seems to contradict many of their findings immediately after the incident, like the autopsy.

Does it really matter what the outcome is? These idiots will burn the city down with whatever the final outcome is. They don’t care about Floyd’s death.

He IS going-away for something.........that much I am sure of.

Is it fair........well, it is either he gets deep-sixed, or they burn this thing to a crisp.

It could be that Chauvin is actually guilty of at least manslaughter and will be found so by the jury. Then he'll be sentenced. If the sentence seems fair that will be the end of it except for a lengthy appeals process.
