My money's on a "compromise" manslaughter charge. The murder charges have no merit, but the jury would have to be suicidal to let Chauvin off Scott free and there's enough wiggle room in the case for a decent faith manslaughter charge.In other news, the jury has reached a decision and will be reading it to the court between 4:30-5pm EST.

Both of us rn:My bet is murder 3 but not 2.
Not what I think is right obviously, but what I think they'll do.

Yikes, a guilty verdict on all three? That's almost surely going to be a successful appeal...
Yeah I don’t even get how this is supposed to be possible. You second degree murdered someone and man slaughtered them and third degree murdered them?Well that's getting overturned on appeal.
There are some states where it's not even legal to do that due to the standards.
Any chance of it getting appealed or the like?Verdict just came back.
Chauvin was found guilty on all charges.
But chance. Especially an appeal with a mistrial because of Maxine WatersAny chance of it getting appealed or the like?

No.He can always appeal.
What you should be asking is if the appeals court is as cucked as the jury that convicted him?
I doubt the appeals court is going to do anything for Chauvin, considering the shear amount of political pressure that would be coming down on them.
Chauvin is fucked at this stage.
No the evidence is not damning.I have no doubt the defense will appeal, but overturned? Doubtful. I was talking to my lawyer buddy about this...you can't get something overturned on just Waters if the evidence is clear that, absent this decision, the same verdict would have been reached. And it *was* after the jury was sequestered.
One of the Fox News commenters said it best...Chauvin let his ego run things and it wasn't his amigo. I don't think it gets overturned because on its own, I'd say the evidence is damning.

Yeah I don’t even get how this is supposed to be possible. You second degree murdered someone and man slaughtered them and third degree murdered them?
Not just get overturned but mistrial for the appeal.
Thank you Maxime Waters
No. It's very difficult to appeal what goes on in the jury room, unless you know racial bias or something like it occurred. Any conviction would have been appealed, the full conviction just makes it more durable, absent a full mistrial (looking at you, Maxine Waters).Yikes, a guilty verdict on all three? That's almost surely going to be a successful appeal...
Not how it works I believe. He can only be punished for one, but if only one gets overturned on appeal (usually from a technicality), the others stand, IIRC. Even if he does get punished for all 3, they'd be severed concurrently, not consecutively, which means he'd serve no extra time.Yeah I don’t even get how this is supposed to be possible.
