What do you anticipate to be the Chauvin jury verdict?
I personally cannot believe that if even a full jury of 12 plus two alternates are seated, that those jurors have not been at least somewhat tainted or have not already had a feeling or estimate of the guilt or innocence of the accused taking into account the surfeit of news, protests, the massive financial settlement, and world-wide publicity and attitude concerning the event. Hopefully the jurors who will be seated will have the ability to set aside all previous influencing factors and restrict their judgment to the facts presented at the trial and their estimation of the honesty of the witnesses.
Chauvin is charged with Second Degree Homicide, Third Degree Homicide and Second Degree Manslaughter.

I hate to see it but I think he'll be found innocent. If he's found guilty he'll get 2 years or less home detention.
