Is America burning? (Black Lives Matter protests, civil unrest and riots 2020)

what else would he say?

He also said the evidence is overwhelming.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

I wonder if it's an all white jury

Six white, four black and two ‘multi racial’

No. Its a mixed jury. Forgive me if I don't remember correctly, but I think it was four African American jurors, two mixed race, and six white. Eight women, the rest men.

Anyone know what time the verdict will be delivered?

9:30pm in the UK apparently (according to the Guardian anyway)

He also said the evidence is overwhelming.

The defense definitely didn't get their side over very well. If I were a juror, I would have voted guilty, but I have thought that since I watched the 9:27 video. I'd have added terrorism charges as well.

It had a very "going through the motions" vibe about it, I thought...

or just precautionary

I don't think there's a whole lot of danger of (immediate, street) backlash if he's found guilty.

Still majority white then

I saw quite a lot of it on the Unicorn Riot feed which was generally very complete - the defence seemed to just be phoning it in, repeating points that witnesses were constantly contradicting. But as we know it's not about that is it.

Would anybody except the jury themselves know at this stage what the verdict is?

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

Still majority white then

I think it depends on the gender mix too. Women are going to be more willing to vote him guilty, I think.

Not impossible is it?

Anyway let's see.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Would anybody except the jury themselves know at this stage what the verdict is?

The judge probably would. I think.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

The judge probably would. I think.

Probably the bailiff and the court clerk too. I'm pretty sure they're the ones who handle the enormous amount of paper involved.

there might be exubherant celebrations too which might hinder people's commutes

 

[FridgeMagnet]

1000 Urban XP to the first person to post "well that's fucked then" when the verdict comes out.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

According to NBC news, the downtown Minneapolis area has emptied out and the businesses sent everyone home.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

They say the delay is so the majority of court staff can get out of Dodge before any possible kicking off.

In short, no one knows anything til the jury foreperson announces their verdict to the judge in court
