Derek Chauvin was by no means a sympathetic figure, but he still had every right to a fair trial.
However, a report from The Post Millenial Sunday revealed that at least one of the jurors who convicted the former Minneapolis police officer for the murder of George Floyd may have come to the jury pool armed with an agenda and possibly an assumption of guilt.
Brandon Mitchell, previously only known as Juror #52, denied having relevant knowledge of Floyd’s civil case during jury selection in March.
But a social media post recently unearthed from seven months earlier showed him wearing a “Black Lives Matter” hat and a t-shirt emblazoned with the message “Get your knee off our necks” — a reference to the manner of Floyd’s death — and “BLM.”
Here is Juror #52 who said he was impartial during jury questioning. Also runs a podcast. https://t.co/JaYM8RTwDj pic.twitter.com/LpmZ8bmD9L

Appeal, redo
Appeal, redo, extension, extension, extension.
All the while the world continues to spin and many other stories will be front and center.
not to mention the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ all of this will cost…….. WE the taxpayer!
If it can be shown that the juror did have prior knowledge, he can be charged with perjury and the conviction overturned on appeal – for his actions alone!
I wouldn’t want to be the one that ’caused’ Officer Chauvin to be set free…..especially if I was of non-Caucasian descent!
Justice cannot be served with lies.
The P.O.S. Floyd dies of a self inflicted drug overdose he took to avoid be arrested for possession .
