Why did they convict on all three charges, instead of just the highest charge? You would think they would just find him guilty on the one of the count's, not sure. Will have to see if this will be an appellate issue? Probably not... And their intent is pretty clear.

learned today that Chauvin tried to plead guilty to something but then AG Barr said it was too early...?

Sometimes guilty just means guilty which means guilty.

Yes, it was the only verdict. I don’t blame the jury, they’ve done their duty nothing more. Now they can go back to living their lives. Maybe even a book deal or at least a few paid interviews. Beats the alternative. I would have done the same thing.

It is pretty clear he is guilty if you strip away the garbage. Yet it’s sad there was a question right up to the verdict.

If so, he would have to waive all appeals and might just get some part of say where he will stay with a little lesser
risk. He is "dead-man walking" in a general population prison. Remember, there is still an "aggravation" enhancement tbd by the judge...

Didn't happen today, I learned of it today...it was while Barr was AG and Barr wouldn't allow it.
