The Trial of Derek Chauvin - Judgement(?) Day(?) has arrived!

[Special Agent Punchy]

Tell us what's happening ffs

Prosecution got the witness to say that Chauvin acknowledged Floyd's pain because when Floyd said "Everything hurts," Chauvin said "uh huh," and didn't deescalate.

 

[Carbonation Grimace]

For those of you not watching, the prosecution has successfully called into question whether or not the "pain" floyd expressed he was feeling in his neck means that chauvin was using force.

However, a reminder: None of this matters.

Witness: He was resting comfortably.
Prosecutor: Did yOU jUST Saay RESting CoMfortABLY??? ON THE pavemenT????

 

[Meat Target]

>resting comfortably
>on pavement

Very poor choice of words.

 

[Ari Gold]

Hello excuse me I need to know if should be sneeding or coping at this current juncture

Neither. You should be laughing at this bullshit.

 

[MoeChotto]

Also tripping the witness up in semantics again

"A perfectly compliant suspect would have his hands resting comfortably on the small of his back"
"Did you say resting comfortably!? On the pavement!?"

The witness got tripped up and rolled with it, unfortunately for the defense.

Witness: He was resting comfortably.
Prosecutor: Did yOU jUST Saay RESting CoMfortABLY??? ON THE pavemenT????

He said a compliant witness would be resting comfortably unlike Floyd.

>Comfortably??
>COMFORTABLY?!
Lol prosecution sounded like he was going to pop a cork on that one

 

[Hackallier]

Yeah, I fell like trying to prove that having someone pressed on the pavement doesn't cause pain was a bad line of testimony from the witness.
(is it a use of force or not from earlier in the testimony)

 

[Sammich]

I have a legit question.. at this point, should Derek Chauvin get convicted of any of these charges?

 

[KiwiFuzz]

>Comfortably??
>COMFORTABLY?!
Lol prosecution sounded like he was going to pop a cork on that one

His blood pressure just went to 216/160.

 

[Trianon]

Yeah, the witness was like, "I'm envisioning the perfectly compliant witness, not this situation."

 

[TitusOvid]

I think the prosecution is doing well. They are getting the witness to agree that there was no real threat from the crowd and that there's not a lot of non-compliance to be seen in the video.

 

[Carbonation Grimace]

I have a legit question.. at this point, should Derek Chauvin get charged with anything?

I assume you mean "should he have been" and in that case, manslaughter was appropriate up until the point it became clear that the dude was a dead man walking.

 

[brap_connoiseur_420]

This witness served the prosecution better than any of their own witnesses.

 

[Meat Target]

Yeah, the witness was like, "I'm envisioning the perfectly compliant witness, not this situation."

It's still a bad look.

 

[Hackallier]

I still think the best line for the defense will be the drugs and health conditions. They have an upcoming expert witness for that.

 

[Sammich]

I fixed it, thanks!

All I take away from this is don't be a drug fiend, hang out with drug dealers that give you counterfeit money to pass for them and definitely don't resist arrest if your body is wrecked from decades of drug abuse because a confrontation with the authorities can be deadly. I think most reasonable people would feel the same.

 

[Special Agent Punchy]

Man, the prosecutor really took the long way round to get there, but they're doing a great job now.
