Alternate juror reveals what convinced her of Chauvin's guilt

[@justmemadison]

I was on the jury of a murder trial and it is unbelievably difficult. Every juror cried at some point -- the stress was overwhelming. Even when you think the person is guilty, deciding to put someone in prison for life or the death penalty is a heavy burden. She is right, it affects you more than you can ever imagine.

[@rachelann724]

That would be really scary!!

[@llm8268]

Agree completely, justmemadison, it’s a heavy burden and you only know if you’ve actively participated in a jury trial AND you have actual human empathy and compassion, and that takes tremendous strength. If you shut down with shallowness masquerading as strength, you’ve missed the point and join the ranks of psychopaths and careless morons.

It happens in a lot of trials, especially high profile ones. I work in media - usually there’s not a gag order and you can go and interview jurors the second the verdict is read. The only way this is different is that there is a gag order, so those jurors who actually deliberated aren’t allowed to be interviewed until the judge deems it safe, so your only option is to talk to the alternates. Aside from that, this isn’t unusual. It’s just more publicised so people are watching.

I did not hear anything I would identify as being specifically liberal or conservative in nature. Yes she likely got some level of compensation from each outlet because A: she knows those outlets will end up benefiting financially from her interview.

It makes sense when you consider that, as a layperson, most people (me included) have the understanding that the core of the Fifth Amendment is that a person cannot be tried twice for the same crime. Given that, how could anyone vote to convict on all three of what appear to be three different versions of the same crime? I have decided to find him guilty, but of which crime? They appeared to be different levels of the same thing. It's my understanding that prosecutors will sometimes include lesser charges so that the jury will be more willing to come to a guilty verdict. I am not a lawyer, but I have served on several juries. It is not an easy thing for regular people to understand the intricacies of the law as it is applied in each case. And I challenge any normal person to stand in front of a group of reporters that we have seen turn hostile at a moment and keep their wits about them enough to not misuse phrases at least once.

[@bridgetsclama]

Not necessarily. I knew he was guilty of at least manslaughter but I was surprised he was found guilty on all charges. Cops RARELY get convicted of anything, and when they do, it's usually just the smallest and lightest one. People on juries don't like to convict police officers. Mostly I think that comes from fear because police officers can find you, their buddies probably already know where you live, and that can be terrifying. I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying that fear is an "extreme motivator" for many people. If you think you and your kids are in danger, you tend to act differently than if it's just you. And with cops.....well, we see how that goes every day with most not even getting charged at all. If not for that 17 yr old girl, who was traumatized for life, but courageously stood there for the entire thing, recording it all, and if she hadn't, you know what would have happened? Paperwork would have read that he was high on drugs and combative and must have stroked out from the drugs or who knows what kind of story would have been invented to cover it up. She made it so that, at a minimum, there was a trial. Trials can go either way.....but at least it made it to court. Now let's hope the other 3 that were holding him down or preventing the EMTs from helping....every one of them are guilty as accomplices at a minimum...so let's hope they also get some tough convictions.

I watched full coverage of the trial from day one to the verdict, and while the defense's case and closing was mostly B.S. there were one or two things the defense showed during closing that did make me second guess, if only for a moment. Like the clip of Chauvin "redirecting the other officers to focus on Floyd." Officer Lane was asking if they should start putting stuff in the car and Chauvin said, "No, let's get him in the ambulance first." I felt that Chauvin was guilty on all charges, that the prosecution proved that beyond a reasonable doubt, (that the bystander video proved that beyond a reasonable doubt) and that manslaughter could be proven at the very least even to the Chauvin supporters regardless of cause of death, because Floyd was in medical distress, Officer Keung said he couldn't find a pulse, and Chauvin did nothing. Even with all of that, the one moment of Chauvin saying, "Let's get him in the ambulance first." Oof. There was also another moment that hit me, sometime during the trial, from one of the bodycams showing that Chauvin had just finally let go of Floyd's fingers as they put him in the ambulance, and as he turned back I caught what looked to me like a momentary expression of "Oh shit, I think I just killed that man." on Chauvin's face.

@Light in the Piazza If someone is claustrophobic and being forced into tight places, constrained, etc. they have difficulty breathing and/or experience other issues. "Claustrophobia is the fear of confined spaces. It can be triggered by many situations or stimuli, including elevators, especially when crowded to capacity, windowless rooms, and hotel rooms with closed doors and sealed windows. Even bedrooms with a lock on the outside, small cars, and tight-necked clothing can induce a response in those with claustrophobia. It is typically classified as an anxiety disorder, which often results in panic attacks. The onset of claustrophobia has been attributed to many factors, including a reduction in the size of the amygdala, classical conditioning, or a genetic predisposition to fear small spaces. One study indicates that anywhere from 5-10% of the world population is affected by severe claustrophobia, but only a small percentage of these people receive some kind of treatment for the disorder."

[@nyx6937]

@@rktl242 Second-degree murder is causing the death of a human being, without intent to cause that death, while committing or attempting to commit another felony. In this case, the felony was third-degree assault. Chauvin is charged & convicted with committing or intentionally aiding in the commission of this crime. Whether or not the MMA guy was distracting or not, Chauvin's still guilty of murder 3. Plus the role of the bystanders is circular logic: maybe they distracted Chauvin from focusing on his task, but they wouldn't have been doing that had Chauvin not been killing Floyd. They were reacting to the distress. Chauvin's face during the 9 minutes is also quite telling: rather than "distracted" it shows pride and determination as in "no, I'm the boss and I'll do as I damn please cuz I'm in charge" Imo here, the other cops are equally guilty for not intervening to stop the murder. I do agree that the MMA guy was more annoying than helpful. Murder 3 is 12 to 40 years. Since he'll likely serve the sentences concurrently, I'm betting the judge will give him 20 years, same sentence as the murderer of Walter Scott.

I think if anything, the jurors would be more likely to vote in Guilty because it’s the truth instead of being fearful of riots as opposed to letting their identity know and please forgive me for saying this but, I think some jurors maybe afraid “NOW” of being profiled by police or possibly white supremacy groups because of their decision so they may not choose to do any interviews.
