This definitely increases the likelihood of a mistrial or supporting an appeal. I think the jury got it mostly right (not sure about all three charges but for sure manslaughter and maybe more). This isn't about that. This is about the issues of our jury pools being tainted more and more. We cannot politicize the juries. This won't end well. I've already talked about how jurors feared giving an unpopular decision and now we have activists purposefully sneaking their way onto juries. With everything going on, Chauvin could walk literally because of the actions of the activists themselves.
"Questions have been raised about the impartiality of one of the 12 jurors who convicted Derek Chauvin of murder after it was revealed he attended a rally last summer where George Floyd's relatives addressed the crowd.
A photo, posted on social media, shows Brandon Mitchell attending an August 28 event in Washington, DC, to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr's 'I Have a Dream' speech during the 1963 March on Washington.
It shows Mitchell, a high school basketball coach, standing with two other men and wearing a T-shirt with a picture of King and the words, 'GET YOUR KNEE OFF OUR NECKS' and 'BLM'. He is also wearing a baseball cap printed with Black Lives Matter."
Yeah...impartiality was obviously not present here, the lie just proves it.
