Imagine if the jury didn't vote correctly. It would have been insane to watch.

I assume this doesn't fall into double jeopardy since these are different charges and federal vs state?

Yup.

The guy in one of the Carolinas got through the state court but got hit with a federal civil rights charge for 20 years.

The anger/sadness on one side vs the cheering and victory on the other would be swapped within 5 minutes.

Correct.

That said, if our court system were worth a damn they'd have done it anyways just for the ultra strong "we refuse to allow police to abuse our citizens" message.

It's like, this is a win.

But on the other side, it's a loss.

Same with Trump's Twitter. Good that it's gone but...fuck, I wanted to see his meltdowns.

Can they still get him? The air this man breathes should contain as little freedom as possible until the day he dies.

Has Garland even been AG long enough to have had a major hand in this? I mean the trial literally started days before he was even confirmed.

Thank God this didnt happen. The right would have gone into overdrive had this happened. But part of me wishes I could watch a clip of how things would have played out

I think they're also reviewing a case Chauvin had where he pretty much did the same thing to a 17-year old, except the kid didn't die. He just went unconscious.

Wasn't he acting AG while awaiting the confirmation, or something to that effect?

While it would have been funny, and I understand it's not technically double jeopardy, I do feel like that things like this belittle a justice system by making it seem like a clown circus.

It would have been a clown circus if they didn't indict him. How can you murder a man slowly on camera and not expect to be punished? A civilian would have been in jail the very day they did that. It took worldwide protests, change in leadership, mountains of evidence and witness testimonial, and they barely put a cop away.

this gets me thinking, it sure would be nice if they start investigating other cops who haven't been arrested but have long records of complaints.

No, Monty Wilkinson was the Acting AG from January 20th to the moment Garland was confirmed March 11th.

Holy fuck the right would have melted down. That very likely would have ended in violence.

They're actively going after entire police departments with extensive records of abuse.
