It depends on whether he gets bond pending his appeal. In 2 years
nobody will remember who George Floyd was.

Emmett Till was lynched in 1955 and lots of people still remember his name.
(And the final days of his life.)


When Congress passes the George Floyd police reform bill, that will take care of that.
More likely that Chauvin will be forgotten.
I seem to recall that Greg predicted that Chauvin wouldn't be convicted, but I could be
wrong.

Unfortunately, that would have been the safe prediction. Cops usually get
away with their on-duty murders in this country.


The difference here is video and 9 1/2 minutes. Given the time and
number of police around to help, you can easily make the argument this
was the wrong way to subdue him.

The other 3 officers who go on trial in August must be ****ting bricks. If
Chauvin had been acquitted they'd probably breathe a sigh of relief, but
with 3 guilty verdicts they're going to have to work to distance themselves
from what happened that day. That'll be tough.
