I posted this last night,a little extra info:
I checked out CourtTv's coverage of the jury selection tonight and the big story was,they finalized choosing 14 jurors,with the breakdown as follows:
12 regular jurors and two alternates(with two more alternates to be chosen.)
Of the 14 jurors,5 were men--9 were women.
9 were under 50 years old,5 were over.
8 Whites,4 blacks.
The prosecution used all its strikes to dismiss all White potential jurors,while the defense split it down the middle.
Whoever said "all lives matter",was eliminated.
Juror #14's interview was played--she was a social worker who would seem sympathetic to the prosecution.She's a White woman in her late 20s.
Just a cursory review would seem to indicate,no chance at all,of all 12 jurors agreeing one way or the other.
I'll be watching.

Isn't it something that some trials are moved along at lightning speed?
Here we go people. Hold onto your hats and all that.
"Just a cursory review would seem to indicate, no chance at all, of all 12 jurors agreeing one way or the other."
The might reach a compromise verdict if legally possible to convict of something. Give Chauvin credit for time served and let him go.
