The case of a white former Minneapolis police officer charged with murder in the death of George Floyd has gone to the jury. The jurors will be sequestered as they consider whether Derek Chauvin caused the death of Floyd, a Black man. Deliberations in the #DerekChauvintrial are officially underway. Jury can deliberate from 9am-730pm local time daily. A verdict could come within hours..or days..or weeks.

Whether George Floyd had blocked arteries, drugs in his system or an irregular heartbeat, all of those were in play and he was alive and well until he was met with Derek Chauvin and his knee. A verdict could come within hours..or days..or weeks" Should be slam dunk. Its obvious he was murdered.

Actually the shorter the deliberation the more likely it's a guilty verdict. The longer the more likely it will be a not guilty verdict. That's the usuals but it all depends on each juror's position on the evidence given. I had been thinking he would be convicted of manslaughter since the start but now I’m not sure. Based on the evidence I’m not sure how a jury would decide other factors didn’t play a part. 

But Derek Chauvin continue to keep a knee on his neck after being told he wasn't breathing, after being told there was no pulse. Never rendered aid. Long after George stopped "resisting" he kept s knee in his neck. It'd be a miscarriage of justice to not at the very least give him manslaughter. But the difference here is “directly contributed” or “ the sole cause”.  Chauvin contributed to his death no doubt but many factors could’ve caused it which by what they were saying in the trial would be reasonable doubt. the testimony of Tobin the pulmonologist is relevant because “anyone, not just George Floyd, would have died because of the actions of Chauvin.”

Although, Tobin’s testimony sealed the deal.  I wouldn’t be shocked if the jury would be hung but thats unlikely when we’ve got video evidence of the murder. They don’t have to prove the sole cause was the positional asphyxia just that it was the most important factor. It was already proven in spades by the witnesses.
