Didn’t see a LE specific thread on this trial and figured I’d start one since testimony began yesterday. I can’t watch any of it live since I’m at a weeks long training course, but I’ve been following Andrew Branca’s Law of Self Defense blog coverage of the trial. I know some of you are not impressed by him, but his coverage has been interesting. You don’t have to be a member to see the blog info for the trial.
After reading the coverage of voir dire, I wonder why the hell Chauvin didn’t opt for a bench trial. Can’t believe the judge didn’t dismiss some of the jurors for cause.
I also was interested to see his defense is using the same expert from the trial of Chicago PD Ofc Jason Van Dyke. The blog has a video of this experts testimony in the van Dyke case. I wasn’t impressed.
Any thoughts if your watching?
