Members Rudy Posted March 29, 2021 Members Share Posted March 29, 2021 Trial began today to see if Police officer Derek Chauvin is guilty of murder News Corps calling it the biggest US trial since OJ.

Duck Egg Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 It was an appalling bit of policing but I think it'll be hard to say that he deliberately killed him. I can see him getting a lesser murder charge, whatever their equivalent of manslaughter is, and half the US going up in flames. Whatever sentence he gets, I cant see it being enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its always struck me as odd how much pre trial publicity is allowed in the US as opposed to here. Some of the stuff allowed in the media there would result in a mistrial here.
