Look for calls that moving the trial would be racist in 5, 4, 3...RaceBannon said:https://newsmax.com/newsfront/minneapolis-chauvin-floyd-settlement/2021/03/16/id/1014071/
The judge overseeing the trial of a former Minneapolis police offer charged in the death of Black man in custody that set off months of riots across the country is considering moving the trial after the announcement that the city had paid the dead man’s family $27 million to settle a lawsuit.
Hennepin County District Judge Peter Cahill may also delay the trial of Derek Chauvin in the death of George Floyd, which began jury selection more than a week ago.
The settlement "is not just a legal decision, it's a political one," Cahill said. "And I think the people in [this] room realize that."
Cahill appeared exasperated that the announcement of the payment came during the trial.
Defense attorney Eric Nelson referred to a Washington Post article last week that quoted an anonymous city official as revealing that federal District Judge Toddrick Barnette had approved the announcement.
Cahill said he spoke with Barnette and claimed the report "is not an accurate statement."
"I think the bottom line is, this was a federal lawsuit, this court was not involved, and as I recall in my discussions with Judge Barnette, the answer was 'We can't tell you what to do,'" Cahill said, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. "And I think he expressed the concern that we would have about doing such a thing in the middle of jury selection, so there was no approval by this court.
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, whose office is prosecuting the case and who has a son on the Minneapolis City Council that unanimously approved the settlement, did not answer a reporter’s question if he or the court knew of the deal before it was announced on Friday.
Ellison's silence speaks volumes
It would be funny if this malarkey gets the trial moved -
The woke mob will throw another hissy fit if they move it.RaceBannon said:https://newsmax.com/newsfront/minneapolis-chauvin-floyd-settlement/2021/03/16/id/1014071/

Minnesota is pretty white (therefore racist and evil!). -
Imagine advocating for the suspension of Justice just to save residents of a City from the reps and policy that they voted for.LebamDawg said:The city/county/state all need to find him guilty just to save Minnicrapolis- truth and justice for all does not apply, take it to the Supreme Court later but right now save the city
Disgusting but I watch how things run. Justice don't mean diddly
Nope. Fuck em. Let them deal with the monster they have created.
