Chauvin juror wore BLM shirt in 2020, now says people should join juries 'to spark some change'

 Thomas Lifson  "The impartiality of one of the jurors who convicted Derek Chauvin on all charges now is highly questionable, thanks to discovery of a (now deleted) tweet from August last year and his own words in an interview one week ago, April 27.  Ian Miles Cheong sums it up in the Post Millennial:

A juror on the Derek Chauvin trial who told the court that he had no prior
knowledge of the George Floyd civil case was photographed last August wearing a shirt that read "Get your knee off our necks" and "BLM." He stated last week that he saw jury duty as a means to "spark some change."
"The juror, whose name is Brandon Mitchell and whose juror number was 52, may have perjured himself during the voir dire examination of his suitability for the jury by claiming little knowledge of the case." . . .

Derek Chauvin Jury Selection Process Highlights Need to Stop Dumbing Down Juries

https://theblacksphere.net/2021/04/chauvin-was-toast-feds-planned-to-arrest-him-if-found-not-guilty/Our jury system's "efficiency," as Mark Twain snarked in 1873, "is only marred by the difficulty of finding 12 men every day who don't know anything and can't read."

. . . "Many of the questions presented to potential Chauvin jurors seem designed to screen out the very sorts of people most likely to be able to make thoughtful, well-informed decisions about  the issues in the case. That is especially true of those that focus on the respondents' knowledge of health care, forensics, criminology, and other simlar issues. And, while the extraordinary publicity and political tensions surrounding this case are unusual, efforts to exclude knowledgeable jurors are common in more typical cases, as well." . . .

From Legal Insurrection:"Juror No. 52, Brandon Mitchell, answered “no” to two questions in the juror questionnaire that asked about participation in demonstrations".

The problem was a combination of pre-trial and ongoing threats of violence if there was a not guilty verdict, and an underlying lack of aggressiveness by the defense and the judge in weeding out biased jurors. Now there is evidence that at least one juror was tainted beyond repair, calling into question the legal viability of the verdict.  . . .

From   In the real world, Floyd is the obvious criminal and Chauvin the hero. But that’s not the case in the “woke” world.  . . . "Evidence clearly proves the man didn’t commit murder. Seriously? With other cops around, onlookers, and knowing there are cameras around, Chauvin decided to kill Floyd?

"Well, mob justice won. Now Chauvin sits in prison, wondering WTF!?

"As it turns out, the Fed wasn’t going to let Chauvin go if he were found not guilty. According to Fox News,

"The U.S. government is planning to bring federal civil rights charges against former Minneapolis police officers Derek Chauvin, J. Alexander Kueng, Thomas Lane and Tou Thao, according to a Minneapolis Star Tribune report.

"A week after Chauvin was found guilty of the murder and manslaughter of George Floyd, the Star Tribune reported that the Justice Department had been gathering evidence for months and had developed a contingency plan to arrest Chauvin at the Hennepin County Courthouse in Minneapolis if there was a mistrial or if the jury failed to convict him on all three counts." . . .

Whose knee was on whose neck? TD


As we’ve learned from Democrats, they can spin anything. All they need to know is what the politics are.  . . . "With President Trump, they actually tried to impeach him on what Biden actually did. Moreover, they gave Hunter Biden a pass, on obvious guilt."

More Proof The Chauvin Case Was A Farce

  Through it all, and despite the defense providing an evidentiary rebuttal to the claim Chauvin snuffed out Floyd via asphyxiation, it was all for naught. In the same time it will have taken me to write this article, the jury had already made up their mind as to Chauvin’s fate.
