"We will ... issue an expedited decision as soon as possible, appreciating that the trial in this matter is supposed to start one week from today," Appellate Judge Michelle A. Larkin said at the close of the hearing. Hennepin County District Court Judge Peter Cahill, who is presiding over Chauvin's case, dismissed the third-degree murder charge in October last year, ruling that it required evidence that Chauvin's alleged actions put multiple people at risk and resulted in a death. Cahill ruled that since Chauvin is accused of only targeting Floyd, the count did not apply to his case.
Following the Court of Appeals ruling in Noor's case, prosecutors asked Cahill to reconsider the third-degree charge against Chauvin. Cahill denied the request.
third?! that was a cold blooded murder! he knew what he was doing, the man bagged for mercy and still he decided (means his choice) to proceed - that is a murderer
Negligent manslaughter charge is more appropriate
Dont be surprised when he gets a slap on the wrist
He murdered the man. We watched him do it on video. It wasn't edited. He's a murderer!
Hope they acquit him because if Floyd never got the attention from the police this would've never happened!
How many times must we say that this man is not the true subject! Open your eyes!
Should be first degree. He murdered George Floyd and should be made to pay for his crime. It's ridiculous that he hasn't yet.
I have faith this will work out poorly
What makes it so difficult to charge a white police officer for murdering a black man in public. Dam! This is not America.
oh boy
Charge him with whatever you think he’ll be found guilty of. No over charging. No more George Zimmerman’s!
Did any of you actually read the article? He is being charged with 2nd degree, which they're not sure he will be convicted for but the lesser degree, 3rd, might work. However, no one is quite sure if the crime meets the parameters of 3rd degree.
Floyd died of an overdose. Deal with it.
They should give him a bonus for showing up when someone called 911 on Floyd due to Floyd's criminal ways. Thug with drugs in his system, dangerous ex-con decided to resist arrest instead of choosing to live.
This white police officer will walk away with no punishment for murder disguised as 'police' work.
They should all be tried together next week
Decide? What if it was your fam Appeal Judges? There I fixed it! Hell yea!
Release him and Kyle, they’re American patriotic heroes
Deciding? WTF
What he did was inexcusable and inhuman.
Reinstate
This won’t stop until there’s real justice. If it doesn’t happen in a court room it’s gonna happen in the street.
Do it
Easy...yes
His fucking face makes me 🤬😡😡😡
Good, no one is above the law.
reinstate that sh!t !!!
