I agree that he’ll get convicted, but it’s not unreasonable that he gets away considering the US has a very, very long history of protecting law enforcement from consequences.

I don't see how any impartial juror gets to "reasonable doubt." The prosecution case was more than solid. The defense was the spaghetti defense.

I'm anxious, though. We know how things have gone in other cases. This one is open and shut but all it takes is one.

The difference between this and Malheur is Chauvin didn’t kill anyone in Oregon.
