Chauvin was guilty as hell, but how could the same homicide be three different crimes?
Normally, in most states, a conviction will be returned for the most serious charge on which the jury can agree.
Our federal system is in my opinion absurd. 50 states. 50 different sets of felony statutes.

Has absolutely nothing to do with the topic. Your reading comprehension sucks. His point was about ALLOWING someone to be convicted of multiple charges. I don't think Minnesota is that unusual in this regard. People are often convicted of multiple counts of the same thing, or multiple offenses. I'm not a legal expert, but it seems like when you hear about these cases, sentences will be concurrent or consecutive, so there are often multiple charges. It also appears that in the Chauvin cases, the sentencing could become longer if 'aggravating circumstances' are present.
So, returning to what you said, your position is an insult to the jurors. They did their job. If Chauvin was guilty of second degree murder, the other charges were pretty much no-brainers. Your hero is a murderer. He's going to jail. Your support for him speaks volumes about your character.

We? You and the turd in your pocket? I don't understand that at all. What you are saying is that a jury should base it's decision on the potential reaction to it in the community. You believe that's their job. That is an insult to every person who ever served on a jury as well as an incredibly ignorant understanding of how our legal system works. Once again, thank God you didn't teach my kids anything. You are a moron.

Term of art. I'm not. No, it is not impossible for a juror to do their job. It would probably be impossible for you, which is why I wouldn't want you to serve on a jury any more than I'd want you to teach my kids. You lack the moral character to do either. That's why you can't comprehend that a juror would examine the facts and render a verdict based on those facts. You don't have the integrity to do it, so you assume no one does. You're wrong.
