Now legal experts are calling that third-degree murder charge brought by Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman “legally defective.”

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) predicts Chauvin will evade punishment unless charges are revised to first- or second-degree murder.

“Third Degree Murder applies only when the acts of the defendant were committed without regard to their effect on any particular person, and not when the actions were directed to a specific person,” said ACLU Minnesota in a statement.

“Minnesota courts have repeatedly ruled that to support a charge of Third Degree Murder, the offender’s actions need to be ‘eminently dangerous to more than one person.’ This has been the law in Minnesota since 1896 and includes numerous State Supreme Court decisions stretching all the way to the present saying the same thing.”

If he gets off because the charges weren't strict enough a burnt down police station will be the least of their worries.

Yeah, hard to see everyone involved not understanding that this guy needs to be convicted by any means necessary. Railroad him if you have to.

In the Freddie Gray case, the charges were more severe than the underlying facts so that cop got off. Are they doing the same thing in the opposite direction?

I'm not sure the ACLU has maintained sufficient expertise in this area as they are more about Title IX adjudication and cake shops than bread and butter Civil Rights.

None of it will really matter if the wrong decision will lead to our country burning to the ground. This guy is toast. An example will be made.

Lynch mobs are in fact superior to the justice system for certain well publicised crimes?

He clearly killed the guy. They aren't going to fuck this up over some legal mumbo jumbo and risk more of the hell we are going through now.

Usually yes, but in order for the elite to continue to enjoy their eliteness, the republic will need to survive. Think of it as a self preservation move.

I have zero faith they won't fuck this up. They already have fucked up by not immediately arresting the prick. Then they ("they" being whomever you want to mention here in any sort of power, all the way to POTUS) fucked up by not clearly and loudly communicating that this is unacceptable and things must change. Now they have fucked up with the wrong charges.

I can see a pattern developing here guys.

The elites have not, historically, had an iron grasp on hegemony. That's why we have new elites.
