Can someone explain how he's guilty of all 3 though? I don't get how that's possible.

Same way you can be guilty of armed robbery, kidnapping, assault, battery, and murder 1 in a single botched armed robbery

This does not make sense when, again, aggregate indicia also indicate improvements. The belief that things are worse is false. It remains false.

Not clear it's an exact quote.

If he did murder 2 he by definition did 3 and manslaughter. It only matters if they want to throw the book at him for sentencing-often it's only the most serious charge that actually gets sentenced

e: it's easier to imagine if Chauvin was a black civilian and did the same thing to a white person- you can throw the book

or assault and battery at a barfight- you intended to do harm by throwing a punch, and also punched someone

Different murder charges indicate different reasons/mens rea for the culprit.

Chauvin was convicted of homicide due to negligence and the 2nd degree murder charge that he intended to cause harm (but not kill) while committing a felony.

What does this mean for potential Federal charges for civil rights violations?

I assume "he's guilty of murder and manslaughter" would make it easier to get a conviction, but I can also see the DOJ going "meh, good enough" if the sentence is decent and just letting it go.

Civil rights suits are usually a consolation prize after a not guilty verdict, as the standard of proof for a civil suit is lower.

They could also only get monetary damages, not jail time for Chauvin.

They could pursue it here, but there isn't anything tangible to be gained by it so it's unlikely.

I guess Minnestoa law is different? I've seen enough episodes of Law and Order to know you can't be guilty of Murder 1 and Murder 2 or Manslaughter at the same time for the same death... in NY

I think the logic is that since second degree unintentional murder is "causes the death of a human being without intent to effect the death of any person", it also meets the requirements of something "eminently dangerous to others...without regard for life" for third degree murder, as well as "consciously taking chances causing death or great bodily harm" (second degree manslaughter)

The great thing about the thousands of slaughtered Palestinian children is that they can't pull away when you fondle them or sniff their hair.

That's a Biden success story.

I know Pelosi is pretty bad, but I'm still having a hard time believing this is accurate :stare: If it is accurate, holy poo poo, she should be removed from politics immediately. I mean, she should probably be removed from politics regardless...

The two lesser ones are “lesser included offenses” and basically will only matter if murder 2 is overturned on appeal.

I mean you can take his house and anything else he owns. Plus I’m pretty sure the murder conviction is admissible to prove the elements of wrongful death.
