Chauvin Murder Trial

[Reforged]

Bull. Shit.
Almost any case? Really? Almost every murder trial has a threat of public rioting? Are you sure about that? Almost all trials had mobs of people backed by public officials threatening to go ape while the details of jurors were widely available?
This is fantasy land now. Look, I get you all like the verdict. Fine, whatever. Don't care. But are we really humoring this as a counter-point? 

Lets be real, there is going to be a retrial and when it happens it won't be because Chauvin is innocent or guilty. That will have zero bearing. It will be because irresponsible asshats decided that political posturing and communicating the extent of their displeasure was more important than ensuring they didn't interfere with a fair trial. 
You should be just as bothered by this if not more as not only does it set a terrible precedent for how people should conduct themselves during any important trial but it could potentially give Chauvin the means to a reduced sentence when things have cooled down on him and the heat is on someone else

No this is what's bullshit.

Your predictably knee-jerk five word response? They can both be. 
I'm sorry if I offended your new religion.

What do you mean ‘there is going to be a re-trial’? There CAN’T be a re-trial - it simply isn’t possible. No mistrial was declared and there wasn’t a hung jury, so no re-trial.

Dafuq are you talking about?

The decision can be appealed based on the circumstances the verdict was reached in. 
Judge even said as much during the trial, go back and watch the part the defense brings up the lobbying.
