TODD: So the Chauvin trial will go to the jury, and like Rush, when I watched George Floyd die in those ominous nine minutes, I was screaming at the TV to do something. And unlike the dear Maha, who departed this earth far too soon, there are so many things that have been laid out in the trial that are gonna be… I want to say “fascinating,” but there\u2019s just too much at stake to make it fascinating.<\/p>\n

The closing arguments continue. This will go to a jury and a jury that is fully aware of the stakes outside of the legal stakes, which is… I mean, that\u2019s a horrifying position in which to find oneself. Already, one of the expert witnesses on the defense side, his former house… He doesn\u2019t live there anymore. (laughs) His former house was vandalized with pig\u2019s blood and a pig\u2019s head left in the front yard.<\/p>\n

\"\"And the aspects of this case are so… There\u2019s nuance, there\u2019s detail, and then there is just this overriding fact that the jury is gonna be under monumental emotional strain. I cannot communicate enough of my prayers to them, that they\u2019re able to have the spirit of truth with them, and I cannot imagine the emotional load under which they sit.<\/p>\n

You have the tragedy of a man dying. You have the defense, who, in my judgment — and, by the way, I think the best analysis of this is at LegalInsurrection.com<\/a>. They often feature the work of a gentleman who is a self-defense expert named Andrew Branca, who talks about some of the legal minutia around this, and the details that the jury is gonna have to play with and examine and argue about.<\/p>\n

But those nine minutes as we watched George Floyd leave this earth… Those nine minutes were preceded by nine other minutes and nine years and so many decades of Mr. Floyd\u2019s life. And I believe the defense made the case that in all likelihood, Mr. Floyd would have died of an overdose. Now, it cannot change, for me, the shock of watching this officer kind of just sit there.<\/p>\n

Yet even in the trial, what was found out was the experts for the prosecution had their use-of-force experts on the stand. The prosecution\u2019s expert said, “Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, I… Yes, I did this to somebody, too, about the same amount of time in the same position of the body as Chauvin did.” Now, gladly that person did not die, but this was the state\u2019s expert.<\/p>\n

Who then the state turned and said, “We\u2019d like to be able to treat this person as an expert for the defense. We\u2019d like to treat them as a hostile witness.” You add to that then another state expert saying prior to the trial that this amount of fentanyl would have killed or may have killed Mr. Floyd, could have ruled this an overdose. And the tragedy wrapped within the tragedy is it will not bring Mr. Floyd back.<\/p>\n

\"\"George Floyd will not come back, and to get ready to paste upon this a destruction of cities… This is the emotional strain under which this jury sits — and also, they\u2019re well aware of the fact that CNN has been featuring… Well, maybe they\u2019re not. I guess they\u2019re sequestered. But CNN has been featuring their faces. The New York Times wrote a piece: We don\u2019t know their names, but here\u2019s what we know about the jurors.<\/p>\n

You have a United States congresswoman (so-called) Maxine Waters, and she was in Brooklyn Center in the case of that shooting, and she\u2019s demanding more confrontational action. She is in the streets where people have been burning things, and the emotions are high because they\u2019re being pushed to heights, because there are groups who want this country to fall on its face and to crumble from within.<\/p>\n

So they seek this division, and it strengthens them and it strengthens their ability to destroy this country. You have a sitting congresswoman (we\u2019ll get into the sounds of this later) begging for violence in front of people who have been violent, because they\u2019re being told by the mockingbird media, there\u2019s no other way to deal with any of this.<\/p>\n

And they\u2019re being told that you are permanent victims unless you undertake these actions. And the leftist media\u2019s done this for years, and it\u2019s simply accelerated in this time frame. And that\u2019s going to create even more tragedies as neighborhoods fall. I was just struck by this event in Brooklyn Center where the so-called protesters\/rioters were trying to, I think, burn down a police station.<\/p>\n
