    It is easy to charge with multiple charges(both murder and manslaughter). The jury can decide wither murder or manslaughter. Sometimes a prosecutor will take manslaughter off the table to force a jury to either go with murder or not guilty. It is rare, and doubtful they would do so in this case.

    If the jury goes with manslaughter, the prosecutor claims success in putting the criminal in prison, and blames the jury for not going with murder. It is the perfect situation for a prosecutor.
    You really think public pressure has no effect on the charge? We went thru this once already. The prosecutor being the good social justice warrior that she was only charged murder and didnt give the option for manslaughter so the jury let the cop go.

    Well you say that but can't see the part of the video where he left the building quietly and then ended up on the ground what happened in between?

    I was speaking of after he was on the ground and cuffed. As I said, it's hard to resist when you're lying on your stomach with your hands cuffed behind your back.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Yes true but with that device they wouldn't even have to do that surely? That guy in the video is also cuffed before the Wrap was put on.

    My point was he wasn't resisting, or really couldn't in that position. But yes, if he was resisting and they had that wrap, it would have been useful.

    Prosecutors are usually very close with the police, and not particularly into being "good social justice warriors". They want convictions in the cases they pursue, so will usually include lessor possible charges.

    Once again, this is what we have seen in this case. Chauvin and the other former police are being charged with fourth degree murder, and manslaughter. The jury will decide whether choking is a reckless disregard for human life, or just a criminal act that caused a death.

    3rd degree murder is an attempt at compromise. It only carries 25 years in Minnesota.

    I heard almost 9 minutes, but that was enough to kill him. The cop is getting charged with 3rd-degree murder since he did not plan of killing him. It was a product of his brutality and hate.

    When they look at the security camera, it is up to a little over 11 minutes. It appears that Floyd went in and out of consciousness during those 11 minutes, and begged for his life when he could breath and was conscious.

    I haven't seen any video as to how he ended up on the ground in the first place, have you? Originally there was a report that he was sitting on the roof of a car but that seems to have gone quiet.

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
