Jurors are sworn in. He knew at the time at the time he was being questioned, and, at the time he was being sworn in that he was not impartial. He also lied about not knowing much about what had happened, other than there was going to be a trial, date of the trial, etc., since he's known to have protested with blm over Floyd. Yes, he should be prosecuted. But he probably won't be prosecuted since he's in a dem city and state.

The juror takes an oath to decide the case “upon the law and the evidence.” The law is what the presiding judge declares the law to be; not what a juror believes it to be or what a juror may have heard it to be from any source other than the presiding judge. The evidence that jurors consider consists of the testimonyof witnesses and the exhibits admitted in evidence. What evidence is proper for the jury to consider is based upon the law of evidence.
..“I mean it’s important if we wanna see some change, we wanna see some things going different, we gotta into these avenues, get into these rooms to try to spark some change,” he said. “Jury duty is one of those things. Jury duty. Voting. All of those things we gotta do.”...
Uh-oh, if this is true, he could be looking at jail time and Chauvin's defense just found their motion to throw out the verdict.

There’s that pesky 9+ minute citizen video of Chauvin, hand in pocket, kneeling on a man’s neck. The man was on his stomach on the ground and cuffed behind his back. He was not going anywhere and posed to threat to anyone.
In absence of the citizen video, unlikely Chauvin would have been charged, let alone faced a jury.

Yep. Even if Chauvin is granted a new trial he'll never take another free breath of air. They could hold a second trial in Mississippi and he'll be convicted again. Case closed.
If Chauvin was the only person in America who got a bad trial. Maybe I would care. But plenty of people get bad trials. So he gets what anyone else would get. Sounds fair to me.
Hard to watch the film and find some other reason for Floyd’s death. I don’t know how many votes the jury took, it couldn’t have been many
Maybe I've missed other people pointing out the obvious but OP, the jury is not comprised of one person.
ALL of them, rather quickly reached the same conclusion, I don't know if the GW Pundit article is accurate or not but you can't hand wave away all of the other jurors reaching the same conclusion.
Lots of people support BLM doesn’t make you unable to serve as an impartial juror.
Are you out of your mind? Wrong.

Are you under the mistaken impression that most/all defendants go to trial? Seems like it.
The vast majority of cases are pleaded (down if possible) because.....ding ding ding.....the accused is guilty.

Given how a lot of people talk on a lot of issues, I would say it is just more of the norm of the public than any particular group. Just look at the opinion about this or that child molester. For the way such people talk.....the 8th amendment doesn't mean a darn to them.
Me, these days, I'm not sure I can ever be on a jury for in order for me to be impartial, that means I would have to totally disregard all I know, all I have lived, and, ethically, I don't know if I can do that for such is expected of a professional such as I am.
Long story short whether the BLM Activist or myself when it comes to responsibilities, it is all an interpretation that can differ between how the next person sees it.
