    If you feed it it will stay. It only showed up here to troll over this verdict.

    By God's ordination and through the US Constitutional rule of law, the verdict has been determined. There is nothing astounding about the verdict. The 12 jurors looked at the evidence and collectively decided the ruling. This is US justice and the world was once again reminded how our system of law works.

    I accept the verdict as fair.

    All humanity is corrupt. If you hide, you hide with corrupt people.
    Our God is perfectly in control. He is accomplishing his perfect will.

    Peace

    Well, Austin, there's corrupt and there's Las Vegas corrupt. And God is in control but I really doubt He "ordained" this or Floyd;s death. But who really knows?

    Yes but I had thought that old retread had been banned awhile back and I saw the "ignored content" and clicked on it. Never again, that one mod made me think it "moved on". It'll just change its ip again.


    Scott is right, this verdict can and will be appealed, God's will.

    I have not been following this closely. Can someone explain the legal reasoning of the two murder charges and one manslaughter charge for one death?

    Thanks.

    I'm sure you're as right about the verdict being overturned as you were about the election result being overturned. :D

    Why would I be banned?!? I'm not the one peddling hate or name-calling. That's you...oh your hypocrisy is astounding.

    If God did not ordain it, that would mean God is not in control and some other power is equal to or greater than God. It seems you may need to consider your theology.
    God, in fact, ordained this verdict, just as God ordained the murder of JFK and the crucifixion of his Son.

    Even that which we view as terrible is still ordained by a good and perfect God who works all things to his good and perfect will.

    In case the charge with the highest sentencing time came back not guilty, they had lesser charges that could still be judged. In this case all 3 charges came back with a guilty verdict.

    no reason in particular legally, they just voted guilty. This will be appealed.
    Personally due to fear of death and torture, the jury voted guilty cause they dont want to be attacked by BLM and Antifa is what I think.

    I knew Chauvin was in trouble when he held Mr. Floyd down after Mr. Floyd had stopped resisting arrest and after he had indicated he was experiencing a medical emergency.

    The verdict was appropriate.

    There is a chance for it to be overturned because Maxine Waters acted the racist fool (again). But in the end the officer is guilty.

    It's Minnesota may be the explanation needed (and their murder laws different than ours). What I don't get, for example, is that if he committed felony murder, it would seem he did not commit the lesser crime of second-degree manslaughter.

    Yes, I get the first part. Here you would have the other charges in case the jury is not willing to convict of the highest level crime. Since they did convict of the most serious charge, I don't see the point of considering the lesser charge.

    "Log off, bro." You don't believe your own theology on this or you would not talk about others the way you do. Through your postmodern theological method, you have abandoned both discernment and the right to discern. Whenever someone comments, your only non-hypocritical option is to say the comments were God-ordained and move on.

    Not necessarily - remember the god of this world is Satan.

    My guess is that they wanted to make sure they get him on at least one charge.

    Thus my belief is that there should only be one charge per crime. For example - a person is DWI and kills someone.
    That would be two separate charges - DWI and involuntary manslaughter.
