So amidst all the political, media, and societal pressure, Chauvin's charge was upped from a 3rd degree to a 2nd degree murder charge.
Let's get some 101 out of the way here:
1. Charges have defined parameters in which you have to meet to get a guilty verdict.
2. Elevating the charge doesn't mean you take the crime any more seriously.
3. If you miss on an elevated charge, you took a risk that didn't work out for you, and it's your fault.
In order to get 2nd degree murder, you'd have to prove that Chauvin intended to kill George Floyd. Given all the evidence, it appears Chauvin had disregard for human life, and his criminal negligence caused a death. That's 3rd degree murder.
However, now that the charge has been upped to 2nd degree.. guess what? Chauvin could be acquitted by law of that crime. And who would that be blamed on?
1. Not the Democrat police unions who ensured he wouldn't lose his job despite a number of alarming instances on his record.
2. Not on the prosecuter who succumbed to emotion rather than reason...
No...
It's be America's fault. White Americans, in particular. It'll be all of us who don't kneel and beg for forgiveness for sins of our forefathers... conspiring and "in on it". The message would be that we all are fine with Floyd's death, which is such an evil, dispicable message to fling onto others, as it's observably untrue.
The Prosecutor here is reckless, and he's going to only cause more buildings to burn and innocent lives to be lost if he doesn't get his risky elevation of charges. Why he wants to play loose with society and human lives in beyond me... unless it's cryptically intentional...
