So apart from using his death to cause riots the still want to use it to further the Scamdemic Covid agenda

In a case of this magnitude, it is very risky to overcharge. The prosecution seem to be taking the case on the face value based on the heat it has generated in the public hoping it will go into the courts with the same steam. There is a vast difference between a 2nd degree murder and 3rd degree murder even though they are both murder charges. In the 2nd degree murder charge, you have to proof there is an INTENT to kill rather than INDIFFERENCE to human life in the 3rd degree charge.

Now intent is quite difficult to prove as it is not usually a clear cut case and this is the reason some prosecutors stay off 2nd degree murder charge unless there is compelling evidence. If going by what we saw on the video, the best will be a 3rd degree murder charge to ensure the officer does not walk because we can't prove intent he wants to kill, he was simply trying to make an arrest and the unfortunate happened due to his indifference (carelessness) regarding human life. If they go for 2nd degree and are unsuccessful in proving intent, then the officer would walk. Mind you, the juror has to be unanimous in their decision either guilty or not, just one juror disagreeing will lead to mistrial. To bring the case for a 3rd degree murder after having charged a 2nd degree; they would have to declare a mistrial and re-litigate the case all over again.

Now this is my opinion: There is more to this case than we really understand or can see. The two people apparently knew each other and even though George Floyd (RIP) was not a saint, he does not deserve to have his life cut short. I have a feeling that the prosecution might "intentionally" want to bungle this case for reason best known to them (i.e. was this done to intentionally start a race riot in the country). A similar case happened in Baltimore in 2015 and the guy walked because the prosecution could not prove their case.

America is a very litigious society. Don't forget their law is called Criminal Justice System; not Victim justice. It is the criminals that seem to get more justice at the end of the day not their victims.

Says someone that calls SARS-cov2 a scam..
Someone that thinks countries would crash their economies because of a "scam" virus.
Someone that thinks 40million Americans lost their job to a "scam" virus
To what end..both china and America is affected by this

You are both pathetic and dumb!
You should be checked for anecephaly!!!
You're a disgrace to anybody to associates with you... both as a friend and as an enemy

KingAzubuike:

The USA is a very deceptive and perfidious country. Before you know it they will end up saying it was covid 19 that killed him and not asphixiation.

America is a very smart and terrible country. Reason why they are inflating and exagerrating Corona virus mortality rate so that they can score points on China. If you believe in the number of Corona virus deaths they're telling you, you're in a long thing. No be only them waka come.

Well, compare to 9ja where she’d get zip. At least she’d be a little bit consoled by millions for death of her failed pórnstar, Covid-19 positive, dad

DNSPro:
stupid people... what are we going to do with his covid19 case? these people are just looking for a way to blame the death on something...

Don't say poor little child oh, they have raised $12,000,000 for the family and still counting. I can give you link/ proof.

You people should stop following the white racists and calling this thing a scamdemic

The thing is, most people with covid will recover without falling ill. A tiny minority will fall seriously sick.

It is the fact that the tiny minority that falls sick would overwhelm our healthcare facilites, if left unchecked, that is why we have lockdowns and the like.

Stop calling this a scamdemic. This is not the first time a severe viral infection has decimated mankind. It most certainly won't be the last.

MODIFIED

The truth is, the world's governments could lift all restrictions, and allow freedom of movement, and millions more will be infected, and most will be asymptomatic or have mild symptoms.

It is the fact that the minority of those who fall severely ill...would overwhelm facilites.

Experimental models done in the US predict that over a million US citizens would be seriously ill...out of 10 milllion if no lockdowns. The US has 950000 hospital beds. If the seriously ill overwhelm the hospital beds....people with easily preventable diseases won't be able toa ccess care, and could die.

That's why we have lockdowns.

I agree intent is usually difficult to prove. But in this case, from the video, its very obvious. So, unless the defense is mental instability, i don't see how you can choke a man for 9 minutes and then say you don't intend to kill him. The man was practically pleading with the officer not to kill him. The man informed him that he cant breath. He stopped moving and the officer did not let go of the choke hold. If the officer had let go of the choke hold and the man in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, then you can argue, he did not intend to kill him. But the man died before the arrival of the ambulance.

If after the clear cut video evidence with lots of witnesses, the police man (men) walks free, then there is something fundamentally wrong with the US justice system.

You know them so much. China is very much awake now and up for the game. MERS, SARS, Birdflu, poisonous belt, jean and shirt buttons, etc, now Covid19. US know what they are doing.

KingAzubuike:

USA 109k deaths. The second comes with 32k. No be only USA waka come na. They know what they're doing. In the nearest future they will start flashing back to how China caused the deaths of 109k Americans and why they should take certain actions on them.
