COMMENTS ABOUT THE CHAUVIN JURY

Deliberations?

Shoot, contrary to what many posts claimed about the shallow mental abilities of the jurors, actually those folks must be geniuses.

So acute were their listening skills that, in a four-hour sprint, they were able to comprehend and digest, and without preconceived notions about Chauvin’s guilt, deliver verdicts; they were able to master every particular matter related to them by dozens of witnesses, some of the witnesses experts in law, experts in medical science, experts in policing, experts in physics.

And those jurors’ reading skills, mastering dozens (hundreds) of pages of transcribed testimony. Four damn hours. Who here can compare favorably? I cannot.

Poor, slow, dimwitted me who, after an intense 2.5 weeks here, trying to follow the reasoning fairly closely, trying to absorb what was offered in the unfolding of the trial, still can’t comprehend everything the jurors were able to assess and judge in four hours, even after having read and reread many posts and the cogent opinions of Mr Branca and Professor Jacobson.

Poor, slow dimwitted me. 2.5 weeks of frustrated thinking.

Four hours? Those jurors are motherfucking geniuses.

Ben Shapiro is certain the jury gave no consideration to the evidence. Not at all.

Nowadays, no one with critical thinking skills or above-average intelligence can get on a jury. Both sides are afraid of a juror who can think for himself. They don't even want a juror who can walk and chew gum at the same time. A "jury of your peers?" Don't be naïve, unless your peers wore dunce caps in school and graduated with a C average or less.

Years ago, Vin Suprynowicz, then writing for the Las Vegas Review Journal, stated that voir dire is French for "jury tampering." Ain't that the truth.
