Yet another piece of proof that makes anything but a "Not Guilty" from the court a farce of the law system of the USA.

Yikes...
The jury was there for all the trial. They would know it was bull.
It has to be for the public that's just coming in to see the closing. They will assume it's not lies. Then there comes a not guilty and they explode with outrage.

That was a defence witness, IIRC.
What'd she do?

Dramatically increased both the chance of riots and how bad they could get via demanding that rioters stay in the street and get "more confrontational" if there wasn't a guilty verdict.
Analysis: Maxine Waters just inflamed a very volatile situation
Minnesota -- and the rest of the country -- is on a knife's edge waiting for a verdict in the murder trial of Derek Chauvin, the police officer charged in the death of George Floyd.

"I hope we get a verdict that says guilty, guilty, guilty," she said in response to reporters' questions. "And if we don't, we cannot go away. We've got to stay on the street. We get more active, we've got to get more confrontational. We've got to make sure that they know that we mean business."
Note that's CNN, hardly a bastion of right-wing thought, and they're still lambasting this California (D)Representative. She's got a pretty long history of calling for violence.
As bear said.
But the judge said he doesn't care what a congress person has to say, as well as it makes it easier for an appeal to happen
So, the jury deliberation for the trial has began, and national review has some articles covering the case.
The first is a rough summary of the case and what the mostly likely result is.
The second is about why there's now a solid chance for overturning it on appeal, because of a prejudicial comments and jury intimidation by Maxine Waters, who decided to fly down and weigh in on the case, despite having absolutely nothing to do with it and being from a different district that's in another state entirely.

This is the same woman that called the 1992 LA riots an "uprising" and called for violent confrontation with Trump supporters on more than one occasion. Maxine Waters has always been a violent rabble rouser and eager provocateur. That her provocations always damage the people she eggs on seems not to matter to her and as a prominent California Democrat she has of course never faced repercussions for her actions.Dramatically increased both the chance of riots and how bad they could get via demanding that rioters stay in the street and get "more confrontational" if there wasn't a guilty verdict.

If this trial misfires I hope her name and saggy mug is displayed prominently in the aftermath.
Actually the Judge also said it might have given them a successful appeal to overturn the case.

They are making excuses in advance because they fucked the persecution on an overwrought charge started because of edited footage. The only people I feel bad for are the ones trapped in that city because the housing prices fucking imploded.
The first gets stuff wrong. The depraved indifference standard of the 3rd degree murder is what's going to hit. Because the Jury doesn't, and shouldn't, know it's legally dubious, as juries decide facts, not law. The law question already got answered and the jury don't even know it got asked.
The Judge will give jury instructions that basically list the law, give no context (like saying it's for psychopaths or stuff like that), and isn't allowed to clarify. From what I've found from the juror instructions, there is no explanation (and the judge can't give more explanation) other than this for 3rd degree:
(Source: Jury instructions: What the Derek Chauvin jurors are considering)
He'll get convicted (and should be convicted) on this for holding Floyd down while knowing Floyd was without a pulse. It's clearly a dangerous act, and it shows a depraved mind.
The one possible way out is if Floyd would have died anyway, and the prosecution did a good job on that part.
