Chauvin's fate was decided long before the jury ever got the
evidence.
Like most high-profile, stories that gets smeared across the front pages of modern media rarely end up with an unbiased jury.
This case was decided by headlines and there was no way to find a jury that was not tainted by it.
This is not to say he is innocent.
This was a show trial and there was no doubt from the beginning where it was going to end up.
Part of the problem is the same problem the Supreme Court faced when it refused to hear evidence of a stolen election – everybody knew riots would ensue if he was not crucified.
The justice system wasn't going to tolerate any other outcome than the one we got yesterday.
The evidence presented by the media over the last year has been so overwhelming and the legal defense was so weak, the trial was a foregone conclusion.
The primary defense Witness refuse to testify pleading the Fifth Amendment and so there went to any kind of balance.
Yet even if the witness had testified media had done its best to deify Floyd so that we have a Christ figure rather than a common criminal who was murdered.
As with the election, had the Court ruled any other way that I did we would have watched cities across America burning and it is better than one person suffer Injustice then to watch America burn. Unfortunately, George Floyd became a symbol of a kind of injustice on a social level that will only get worse now that this man has been tried and convicted.
No question Floyd should not have died for the crimes he committed. But this trial was more than just about Floyd.
Media and the Democrats have been trying to sell us that there is a systemic racism in all of this and the fact is that Floyd and the officer had a personal relationship that went beyond the typical police and confronting a suspect situation.
They knew each other personally they hated each other personally and so when the cop had an opportunity to use his power against Floyd he did so personally.
Most likely the outcome of the trial was the right one but we will really never know.
The serious consequences of the trial go well beyond the actors who played their role in this drama
We will watch an embolden media and an embolden radical movement become energized by the conviction and use it as a symbolic weapon against police everywhere even when clearly justice would not be served by condemning cops across the world.
Unfortunately we can't have Justice on one level without having the Injustice on the other.
So we will have to live with both.
