Guilty verdict in Chauvin trial could set precedent: Crump, civil rights attorney

11. Not a big fan of Crump but he has the financial backing and experience to do the job.

I disagree that a Chauvin conviction alone would do much. The bigger deal will be if the other three cops get convicted with stiff sentences. That would send a message to all cops that a bad apple cop can send them to prison if THEY do not stop him/her from violating people’s civil rights. Once they realize it is their butts on the line too, they will shut down the bad actors or at least not stand up for them.
