  2. And what is your source? The state court documents were all posted during the trial. As for the federal charges, Chauvin pled guilty.

  3. Well this story is changing. I remember when they said Chauvin pled guilty to federal charges because he wanted to be in federal prison. He stays in state prison because all appeals were exhausted and the Supreme Court denied relief.

  4. A federal pardon, after he himself pleaded guilty, has zero effect on his conviction in state court.

  5. Chauvin pled guilty to federal charges. The President cannot pardon Chauvin on state charges.

  7. He pled guilty to federal charges. Trump can't pardon him for his state conviction. But hey, let's have more chaos. Good for the short sellers.

  10. @payleryder45  HE PLED GUILTY, in two cases. DOJ has a press release.

  11.  @payleryder45  He pled guilty.

  12.  @payleryder45  For some reason, they won't let me tell you a guilty plea is not a trial.

  13.  @payleryder45  Two civil rights charges, not one -- in two entirely separate cases, not just Floyd's. I agree with you concerning why. He's much safer in federal custody. Fun fact: Ben Shapiro went to Harvard Law. That's funny.

  14.  @payleryder45  A pardon is not justified.

  15.  @payleryder45  And he didn't go to law school with the prosecutor or read all the court documents like I did.

  16. @payleryder45  There's that other thing: the jury agreed with me. 😊

  17. @payleryder45  The jury is the factfinder, and solely the factfinder. The judge is there to determine the law. And actually, your premise is wrong as well. Attorneys and other legal workers used to be excluded from juries, but that has not been the case since the end of the last century.

  18. @payleryder45  Right. Admissibility of evidence is a pure question of law. And I was responding to your ad hom with actual facts about how juries are picked. So of course you needed to revert to more ad hom. No problem, my sympathies.

  19.  @payleryder45  But if someone is rich or has political power, they don't need to do that law book readin' stuff. "Whatcha readin' for, boy?"

  21. Well this story is changing. I remember when they said Chauvin pled guilty to federal charges because he wanted to be in federal prison. He stays in state prison because all appeals were exhausted and the Supreme Court denied relief.
