Respectfully disagree Dooms. It'll never be overturned. The reality is that there was enough evidence to convict Chauvin. I don't believe the man woke up that morning to hurt anyone and I don't think his intent was to kill Floyd but the way he tactically handled the situation when Floyd was in handcuffs and laying on the ground is just too high a bar to overcome.
Did Floyd contribute to his own death? You bet but that's something that will be overlooked at sentencing. And that's where the real travesty of justice will take place. Chauvin is going to be the sacraficial lamb; he'll do more time in prison than convicted and premeditated killers. Repeat offenders get a slap on the wrist but this guy is going to pay a high price.
The ultimate victim is the CJ system. It's been irreparably damaged by both George Floyd and Derek Chauvin. Unfortunately, crime will continue to go up and all of this will negatively affect the dolts who are burning their cities and protesting. And our kids will be discussing the same issues about poverty, inner-city violence, black on black crime, crime statistics, lack of parenting, single parents, and so on when they are our age. Nothing will change until these communities change and stop blaming everyone else for their plight while waiting for a handout.
