The Chauvin Sham Trial

Derek Chauvin was pronounced guilty before any legal proceedings began. For example, looney tunes like Nanci Pelosi blamed Republicans for “trying to get away with the murder of George Floyd.”

Let us examine some of the established facts (both presented in trial and out of trial):

Evidence Challenging the Incident Itself

• Floyd’s autopsy showed that he had advanced heart disease, fentanyl, and methamphetamine in his system and that he died of a heart attack, not asphyxiation. It also showed that no life-threatening injuries were identified:

• Bodycam footage demonstrates that Floyd was not handled roughly, complained about not being able to breathe long before he was on the ground, and was illogically complaining about claustrophobia – which is why he was on the ground in the first place and not in the back of the police vehicle.
• “Prone control” – using a knee on the side of the neck – is a standard police procedure for the restraint of a suspect. Video evidence, when examined from all sides, shows that Chauvin properly applied this technique.
• Floyd had 11ng/mL of Fentanyl and 19 ng/mL of Methamphetamine in his system at the time of the incident. With 11 nanograms per milliliter of Fentanyl and 19 of Meth in his blood, George Floyd was a dead man walking.
• George Floyd was COVID-19 positive at the time of the incident. This is all it takes for COVID-19 to be declared the cause of death on the death certificates of hundreds of thousands of other Americans.

Evidence Challenging the Fairness of the Trial

• The trial took place in Minneapolis, where all members of the jury had witnessed violence, rioting and looting, and the deification of George Floyd in their city (so much so that the defense was forced to pass a motion barring prosecution experts from comparing Floyd’s death to the crucifixion of Jesus).
• Trial witnesses were attacked and threatened with violence.
• By the time the jury was being empaneled, the city of Minneapolis effectively declared him guilty by paying his family $27 million dollars to settle the family’s lawsuit against the officers and the city. The defense’s motion to move the trial to another venue was denied.
• Politicians – most notably Maxine Watters – publicly called for a guilty verdict and threatened violence if one was not reached. This alone was grounds for a mistrial and even the judge in the case noted that the defense’s appeal case was strengthened by Waters’ comments.
• The Minneapolis Star Tribune released large amounts of personal information about the selected jurors which would allow any decent internet investigator to figure out who they were, their addresses, and their families. The mainstream media actively worked to identify everything about them but their names.

The above evidence is just part of the host of glaring concerns with this case. The legal standard of reasonable doubt is understood to mean that if there is reasonable evidence that George Floyd may have died as a result of something other than the actions of Derek Chauvin, the jury must find the defendant not guilty. Any reasonable observer can easily determine that this happened. There are at least three other plausible explanations for Floyd’s death other than the actions of Chauvin. What was not doubtful, however, was that racial violence, property destruction, and likely more death would occur if the mob didn’t get their way. Far from being just, this trial was a clear miscarriage of justice to anyone paying attention.
