The AG said today that
1. It will be difficult to convict on 2nd degree murder but…
2. This is in addition to the prosecution of 3rd degree murder charges. I think that means that even if they are unsuccessful with 2nd they can still convict on 3rd. But I am not a lawyer so I don’t know how that works.
3. The other officers were abetting him. One held down the knee one held down a different part of him and one made sure onlookers didn’t come near.
Btw, you are saying that they cannot prove his intent. I am just curious how they ever prove a unpremedidated murder has intent. I am going to guess that they usually base intent on the method of murder. If so, kneing on someone’s neck isnt worse than fatally shooting someone in the arm. I am not a lawyer though.
Right when I heard the news I thought: Keith Ellison wants this man to go free so there should be more riots and chaos. Can we have the conspiracy theorists come out and back me up please
