"I'll give you that Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned," Judge Peter Cahill told defense attorney Eric Nelson on Monday.Waters on Saturday night had called for protesters to"stay on the street" and"get more confrontational" if Chauvin is acquitted in Floyd's killing, comments immediately seized on by Republicans who claimed that Waters was inciting violence.
""Their failure to do so, I think, is abhorrent, but I don't think it's prejudiced us with additional material that would prejudice this jury," he said, adding that"a congresswoman's opinion really doesn't matter a whole lot." In response, Waters, leaving the House floor, told reporters that"the judge says my words don't matter.
thnk4urselff Did you actually read the article or did you see the headline and re tweet?
Bullshit!!
No It ain’t
CHÂN THÀNH VÀ NGHIÊM TÚC.( CÓ HÌNH NHA)
He should be disbarred
Appeal
USA io voglio venire con voi senza guai o incidenti di nessun genere “ love you
Let's hope not
Setting the stage for...
The other three police accomplices should be charged and convicted as well for taking part in the crime.
Why can't he let it be? Justice prevailed. Was he expecting Mr. Chauvin to prevail?
Nope, her comments should not have any bearing on this case. This is a case about Chavin’s gross misconduct and his accountability.
Appeal it. All. The. Way.
👍
I haven a felling he will get away this bc his White 😡🤬😡🤬😡
Waters is an ass and a jury isn’t needed to decide that...
Wonder if any judge inserted themselves into any of tRumps comment when he tried to totally interfere
Wow four years plus of this kind of talk went on in this country and cause certain ethic groups to hurst for Covid and different congressional and state personal were call name and no censorship REALLY
I don't trust this man one bit. Was he around when Trump was in office. You're a judge focus on the darn case n leave the woman name out of your mouth.
The judge should just throw the case out. Just like all the cases of fraud about the president race.
They need to through all the protesters that break the law in jail. As long as they are peacefully protesting leave them alone. But the minute they tear something up lock them up.
He needs to be investigated for ties to white supremacy.
The Verdict Alone will Dictate weather Civil unrest Happens outsider looking in Chauvin Deserves the 40 yrs in prison how That Defence guy can make it out its the Police job to do what he did is beyond Beggars Belief
That's complete BS this was probably already on his mind . Maxine Waters has NOTHING to do with this case !!
Anything to set him free 😤
Please don’t forget that any violence coming out of this verdict will be played over and over again during the 2022 elections by the Republicans with the phrase “Democratic Cities” -Keep The Peace! Chauvin Minnesota MSNBC GeorgeFloydTrial BBCNorthAmerica cbsnews Politics
Why is the judge white ? They should be trans racial!
So the judge gives the defense counsel the grounds on which to appeal? What happen to separation of powers? Well, who knows how it's done in a racist world? No equity, I suppose.
No it’s not, if that’s the case so would every protest wouldbe grounds as well. False narrative that this judge put out and you see he later retracted his comment
He is also a Republican appointee. He instructed the jurors to examine the evidence and follow the law. It was a wink and a nod to the defense.
She's a Black woman, so nobody cares what she has to say.

Judge since when does it matter what is being said outside court , you are now showing us your bias . are you a racist like Chauvin ., you are just looking for an excuse to declare a mistrial so you can save your fellow racist ass.

So according to some peoples’ logic here, if Trump’s behavior was excused, no Democrat can ever be in trouble for anything? Is that what you trolls are saying here?
Sure she meant well but she now has made things worse That is why it is best to think before you speak!
Free him now
Man,fucc tha system..Am fuccn sick 😷 of this bulls***..honestly it sucks alot
Waters running her mouth again. No surprise. Not helpful., and inflammatory
Good Judge!
I am shocked that he said that! What about everyone that has said things, why Maxine Waters?
The judge is showing his bias .
He might be looking for an ESCAPE GOAT!!!
If this is true... EVRRY cade that the MAGAt-🤡-Prince weighed in on, LIED about & pardoned needs to be reviewed & appealed.
Luxury is going to be wide tired about that very thing and if they are aware of it they'll have a mistrial
The judge isn’t wrong in what he said, he just should have never said it. His comments should have caused a mistrial. An appeal would have been filed no matter what. His angle seems to be making sure that the defense has a way out no matter the outcome.
But why single out Congress Woman Walters & exclud other Elected Officials who spoke on this matter? Something don’t smell right about this Judge
We dont need people like Waters in govt, she needs to step down, the people dont want this Foolishness!!
yes they should be grounds of an appeal and Waters should be removed from the House.
Anything 'could be' grounds for an appeal.
Maxine Waters comments would not have been entered into the case transcripts without the Judge’s statement - can this be be grounds for disciplinary action against the Judge?
He had to have know that Not having the jury sequestered was going to be a problem. Ppl are obviously curious and would have been on social media and watching the news. This trial is huge, its everywhere.
About *rioting *
But when Trump incited violence, those same Republicans stayed silent.
Dereck Chauvin unlawfully made himself a crooked judge and jury the day he restricted the breathing of a human being, even after the pulse had stopped. That's murder. This repeated lack of respect for life is not an officers liberty to take and then be excused.
Hello awesomepeopel do youtube channel monetization for passive income do youtube channel monetization for passive income
From The Minneapolis Police operational manual.
Mistrial
Oh dear.
Where's the demand for justice for their six year old girl that was riddled with bullets how about that 17 year old girl that was shot up in her car. Y'al lcare more about gangster criminal thugs than innocent civilians
This judge is very obviously BIASED. I bet if MTG made those statements for a different ethnic group....NO problem. People's utterances OUTSIDE of court should not result in ANY judgement being appealed. Where did he study law.
Sounds like judge is looking for an excuse to acquit Chauvin regardless for jury decision.
America the land of the free! P.S. only if you're white. Black people don't count. This is America
Racist judge.
Maxine Waters is just saying what most black people are feeling. Oppression should never have happened 500 years ago or ever. It is just evidence of greed, insecurity and fear. Maybe the very thing racists fear will turn into the very thing they should really fear. GRRRRRRRRRRR
Ohhhh what about the innocent who are wrongfully convicted, they never get the chance of a judge appealing a verdict. Fucking joke.
While the first amendment may be inconvenient, it still is in existence.
Cahill made a fool of himself
They mad Waters told that white bot shut up
Maxine told Jordan to shut up theyad she told that white boy that
The taken out of context words or the whole statement?
Pfft! The Former Guy’s comments might be grounds for appeal, too, but is it likely either appeal would be successful?
tripe
The same people who defend trump, are going to decry Waters? I wonder what the difference is...
Well it’s time to take names and kick ass...we gonna March down to that court house and tell that judge a thing or to....unbelievable crazy Maxine comments will let a killer walk really dude lol..American justice system is weak.
Nothing but diarrhea flows from Maxine's mouth! Then she runs and hides while you guys do he dirty work and deal with the aftermath and those who's cities are burned have to live there while she is in her mansion laughing at you! Stop thinking she gives a shit about you!
Wtf judge. Your comments are grounds to have you removed. System is fucked.
She should resign now! Such a stupid comment!
Was the jury not instructed to not read or watch any news related to the trial? And if they disobeyed that directive, is Rep. Waters comments really the thing that will sway their verdict? 🤔why call out her...
It's not a threat. She speaks for her constituents. GoodTrouble
She never mentioned violence, she mentioned getting aggressive which means yelling and screaming at the cops, being aggressive doesn't mean violence.
Are you kidding this dam kangaroo court we have not forgotten some people in this country has a brain stop giving legel adive to a dam murder suspect !!!! We're was america outrage when this case was going on
I agree with the judge here. Politicians should refrain from commenting on trials and be respectful of the judicial branch of government. Let’s hope the jurors keep to their duties in spite of all this noise.
No they couldn’t
They keep writing and interpreting the laws in their favor.
Oh please... If the judge did his job, Maxine Waters would have never been heard by the jury.... Which is it Judge !!!!! Did you do your job or Not?
If it a mistrial the prosecution can try him again and more likely in front a different judge. Judge is not there to help either side he supposed to be impartial it's the lawyer to present there side of the case.
It seems that they just want an excuse to throw out the case...judge included!!!
He should shut his mouth. It's not the time to say things like that
If I was on the jury, I may have been able to have reasonable doubt up until the part where Floyd quit moving. After he quit moving and the cop felt no pulse and Chauvin kept his knee on his neck, I would have to say he is guilty of the charges.
Sus judge tbh
I don't believe Congresswomen Waters would call for violence. I believe she probably used the word 'confrontational' to mean that we should keep 'confronting' the racial injustices in our country.
Shouldve saved your comments for after the verdict.. what happened to due process?
Incredible!
Let me fix that: Judge: I messed up when I did not sequester the jury. So now I am going to blame a member of Congress for using her 1st amedment right to publicly state her opinion.
Good grief. What a non story. Every trial court Judge, when denying a motion, says 'it might be an issue for the Appellate Court.' Translation: go cry to them, not me.
GTFOH!!! He was going to appeal anyway.
ThatDamnRico ok I see your point now. I concede.
I guess it becomes clearer and clearer what's wrong with Minneapolis. The Police, the Courts, the people. Racist.
Why couldn't she keep her mouth shut.
Fox will use this to turn Chauvin into a victim. Bet on it.
Trump “was very upset when he saw that video,” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Thursday. “He wants justice to be served.”
Freedom of speech has its perils.
Maxine Walters is 82 and from Mo .. that explains everything
I love how when a black women speaks up, this kind of shit always comes up. But a bunch of white people storm the Capitol building. Kill police officers. And members of Congress and the President incited it....yet that’s no problem. 🙄🙄🙄
A lot of things can be raised on appeal. That doesn't mean it has merit or will succeed. Many a judge has said 'take it up on appeal' after they deny your motion or objection. This not headline news.
It was an asinine remark. She should shut HER mouth. We expect that crap from Republicans, not people seeking justice.
Too bad it won't be
Unbelievable!
What tripe.
