Chauvin juror defends lying about being at BLM protest for George Floyd
2021-05-05
[Mail via Right Scoop] A juror for Derek Chauvin didn’t tell the truth about being at a BLM protest for George Floyd last year when he was being queried by Chauvin’s defense team during the jury selection:

A photo, posted on social media, shows Brandon Mitchell attending an August 28 event to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech during the 1963 March on Washington.

It shows Mitchell, a high school basketball coach, standing with two other men and wearing a T-shirt with a picture of King and the words, ‘GET YOUR KNEE OFF OUR NECKS’ and ‘BLM’. He is also wearing a baseball cap printed with Black Lives Matter.

#6  A judge would be foolish to order a new trial. The BLM mob would be at his/her house burning it down before the ink was dry on the order.
And judges know it.

#4  Prediction: the appeals will go up the judicial chain until the state supreme court declares that Chauvin doesn't have standing and tosses the case.

#3  Don't they take an oath when they become jurors? Isn't lying under oath some kind of crime?

#2  A lie in support of the "greater truth." A leftist specialty.
