Guess Chauvin finally decided to drop the "ghost" from ghostskin when he shaved his head.
I wonder who got him in the prison draft: Aryan Brotherhood, Nazi Lowriders, or Christian Identity.

The state has begun presenting victim impact statements to the court, they just played a video statement recorded by #GeorgeFloyd’s daughter Gianna Floyd.
Next victim impact statement is from Brandon Williams, Floyd’s nephew. Williams tells the court about how he won’t get any more “laughter, guidance, hugs, advice” from his uncle - those moments are “forever gone...our family is forever broken.” Requests maximum penalty.
Breaking story: Maryland’s Attorney General plans to review all in-custody death reports in the state from 2003-2020 following the testimony of Dr. David Fowler in the #DerekChauvin trial. baltimoresun.com/news/crime/bs-…
The news also comes days after the family of #AntonBlack spoke out against Fowler testifying in the #DerekChauvin trial. Black, 19, died in police custody in 2018. His family filed a lawsuit nearly two years later. baltimoresun.com/news/crime/bs-…
The decision to review in-custody cases under Fowler’s supervision came after 431 physicians— including a former D.C. chief medical examiner—signed a letter Thursday penned to the Maryland AG office criticizing Fowler in the #ChauvinTrial. baltimoresun.com/news/crime/bs-…

The #ChauvinTrial verdict doesn’t bring back any of the Black people who've been murdered by the police. We want accountability for all of them #UntilJusticeIsReal.
The conditions Black communities face needs to change and the struggle for real solutions, real justice continues.

Chauvin is convicted across the board.
Judge thanks the jury not just for jury service, but for "heavy duty jury service."
Verdict imminent
#ChauvinTrial
#ChauvinTrial
Count one, Second degree murder, Guilty
Count 2, third degree murder Guilty
Verdict has been reached in the #ChauvinTrial. Headed downtown to cover for @mndailynews. The city feels swollen. But thinking of Philonise Floyd’s words to @sarasidnerCNN. It’s gonna be all right.
We’re less than ten minutes from the expedited verdict announcement. @mndailynews
The crowd is chanting that no matter what the verdict is, Chauvin is guilty. @mndailynews activist Brandyn Tulloch is speaking.
We await the results ...
Good morning. We are on verdict-watch in the Derek Chauvin trial. The jury deliberated last night for about 4 hours, from 4p-8p. And they resumed this morning at 8a.
What should we watch for? Besides coming forward with a verdict, at some point they might have a question.
What should we watch for? Besides coming forward with a verdict, at some point they might have a question.
If the jury has a question in this case -- the judge will call the parties back into court and will read the jury's question out loud - and on camera.
The judge will then answer the jury's question on the record (although he will have already discussed his answer with attorneys)

Questions can be somewhat mundane -- like asking to be refreshed on what someone testified about -- or a question about the exhibits. Here is an example jury question from the Yanez trial in 2017.
The jury in Derek Chauvin’s trial resumed deliberations at 8 a.m., following a marathon day of closing arguments in the former Minneapolis police officer’s murder case. mprnews.org/story/2021/04/… #ChauvinTrial
It’s not clear how fast the jury will reach a verdict. It could be anywhere from several hours, to days or even weeks. We've tried to answer some questions about how jury deliberations work here: mprnews.org/story/2021/04/…
Who are the people deciding Chauvin's fate? The jury is made up of 3 Black men, including 2 who are immigrants; 1 Black woman; 2 women who identify as multiracial; 2 white men; and 4 white women. Here's what we know about the 12 jurors. mprnews.org/story/2021/03/…
#ChauvinTrial -- Judge is now giving the jury instructions.
Closing arguments are over.
Closing arguments are over.
Defense attorney Eric Nelson now alleging prosecutorial misconduct, because the prosecutor made multiple accusations that the defense lied in presenting its case.
"There's lot of law on this."

#ChauvinTrial
Court is back in session. Nelson apologizes again for how long the closing statements are taking. #ChauvinTrial
The defense argues that the idea that George Floyd only died from one COD is "preposterous."
The defense is going into heavy detail about the events of the day and cause of death, presumedly to emphasize reasonable doubt.
The defense is now closing. #ChauvinTrial Attorney Eric Nelson is reminding the jury that Chauvin is presumed innocent, per the law. The burden is on the prosecution.
This is in stark contrast to the prosecution beginning with a narrative.
Defense is emphasizing "proof beyond a reasonable doubt" and that the proof in the prosecution's case must "eliminate" doubt as a whole.
“If he walks, that’s it. It’s over. This is Rodney King times a million. It’s hard for me to believe Chauvin isn’t a ghost skin who murdered George Floyd to deliberately burn the country down.”

If you’re following #closingarguments in the Chauvin trial — I recommend listening to the reactions of a former Neo-Nazi who once worked with Metzger on strategies of infiltrating police.
He’s doing a thread here:

To science friends: @ScienceMagazine @hholdenthorp asked me about public health comms and lessons learned. As a mere consumer of health intelligence to guide things I do -- assist state, local and private entities and public how to respond -- I have some (hard) takes. Thread. 1/
Health intelligence is like other intelligence: imperfect, changing as we learn, looks solely through one lens. It provides insights into the "what," but the ultimate decisions often have to take into account costs and benefits that aren't necessarily "scientific" in nature. 2/
Thorp's editorial from the interview lays out the key takeaway: in a national crisis, there are many lanes, all relevant for a nation suffering. We could blame Trump and, while correct, that is too easy. 3/

#ChauvinTrial is anyone following this bizarre theory from the defense? Floyd might have died from carbon monoxide poisoning from inhaling fumes from the car?! But the only reason he was down on the ground inhaling anything was because Chauvin HAD HIS KNEES ON HIM FOR 9+ mins
We’ve entered the throw-shit-against-the-wall-to-see-what-sticks phase of the #ChauvinTrial #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd

Jury not in room. Morries Hall makes an appearance before the judge to say he will not answer any questions if called to the stand, pleading the 5th.
Hall's public defender argued that it could incriminate him in a 3rd degree murder charge.

Hall's public defender argued that it could incriminate him in a 3rd degree murder charge.
ICYMI: Last week, Morries Hall's public defender Adrienne Cousins laid out the reasons why Hall plans to plead the 5th. His testimony could open him to a 3rd degree murder charge related to an OD death, as well charges for drug dealing, drug use.
Defense calls as expert testifier Dr. David Fowler, retired forensic pathologist.
