Will Derek Chauvin be convicted or acquitted ?

It is still in question - the trial only half way through, and strong evidence on both sides.  We've been watching the Prosecution case, which makes him look guilty; soon we will see the Defense case.

This is nothing like the Zimmerman trial, in which Prosecution evidence proved reasonable doubt, so that he hardly needed a defense.  

I have been watching faithfully, and my opinion that this would be a complicated case has been fully justified.  

I'm concerned that the medical evidence may be too technical for the average person - or juror - to understand.  I understand it, yet I still have questions.  

Either way they will still riot. If, he doesn't go to death row.

Hey "anonymous" who posted right below me....can i put my knee on your neck while you're face down on the ground with your hands cuffed behind you just so I can confirm what you are saying? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

The prosecution pitted some know-nothing physicians against him, indicating that the knee to the back of his neck contributed to his death.  Unless they crushed his cervical vertebrae, it could not have compressed his trachea.  That police officer was no more contributory to his death than I was.  But, juries are laypeople, not medical experts, so they will be duped into convicting him.  Those doctors should lose their licenses.

Hopefully the defense will call anyone who has taken an anatomy class to show the jury that he could have had his knee on his neck for a week and not cut oxygen to his lungs.

It's had to say; Chauvin went further than his police training allows, but Floyd was already in the process of dying due to an overdose that reportedly included fentanyl. Knee pressure on the side Floyd's neck will slow a person down, and they will temporarily pass out, but there was no restriction to Floyd's breathing, except due to the drugs Floyd himself took prior to his run-in with Chauvin. A knee on the neck hinders blood flow to the brain, it does not cut off air to the lungs. The entire event was precipitated by Floyd  trying to pass a counterfeit bill to a shopkeeper, which in itself is a chargeable offense. Floyd's long-tern history of drug abuse led him on his path to self destruction. Floyd would have died from his drugs that day, whether Chauvin was there or not. No one at the scene at the time recognized Floyd could have been saved with a dose of Narcan. No one knew what drugs Floyd had taken except Floyd. If Chauvin is convicted, it will not be for the highest charges against him. 

It will end in a mistrial.

He'll probably be convicted of second degree manslaughter. I doubt the jury will be willing to convict for murder.

He will be convicted.  He has to.

The truth is it was manslaughter.

There is no evidence that it was racially motivated.  

Most likely a manslaughter conviction.
