In the Rodney King case they moved the trial to a white suburb. Hard to think they can find a jury anywhere that isn’t “biased” one way or they other.

I've seen a couple of different references that his death was not by asphyxiation per the coroner. I don't necessarily believe that. One would think it would be big news and all over the media if it were true so I'm taking a wait and see approach. The possibility does exist and that may have been the reason for the delay in the cops indictment.

The probable cause statement does state that the initial autopsy did not find traumatic asphyxiation or strangulation as causes of death. And I agree that this could be a big issue for the prosecution, if it’s true.

Don’t open up that possibility! if this Chauvin character is acquitted you think you've seen rioting now, just wait and see what that scenario brings. I shudder to think. The sad part is that I could see it happen. Nothing much surprises me anymore . It depends on the jury which makes any trial a crapshoot to be honest. Reasonable doubt regarding the cause of death will be a paramount to this guys defense and they will disparage the victim high and low. Its going to be ugly either way. Lord have mercy. I hope he doesn't get away with it my logical mind thiunks no way isnt he convicted but then I remember past trials and then Im not so sure :-(((((((
Reality Check Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 The problem for the victim in this case is that he was a drug addict.

Reality Check Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 2 minutes ago, B-Man said: Even if true, it doesn't matter. It does if it was a contributing factor to his death at the time due to cardiovascular stress beyond being restrained by the cop. I don't support the cop in this, but if the coroner potentially claims that the man had cocaine in his system and heart disease, then don't expect a conviction for manslaughter. One juror is all that is required for the cop to get off.

B-Man Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 This speculating about the "trial" is incredibly too early. Which is why it took someone as childish as Tiberius to start it. 4

The porn movies aren't the issue so much as in his scenes he struggles to perform and always appeared disoriented and in physical distress. Cocaine just ***** your cardiovascular system up so bad. Believe me. I wish none of this ever happened to this dude.
Unforgiven Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Sounds as if folks are starting to panic that the riots are dying down, now they are day dreaming already and spreading nonsense that the cop is slated to get off to fan the flames. But, yea orangmanbad. Edited June 3, 2020 by Unforgiven
muppy Posted June 9, 2020 Posted June 9, 2020 Bail upped to 1.5 million dollars he aint going nowhere for a while and hopefully years after that.

The other three will be though Edited June 9, 2020 by Crayola64
